Visit APP Advocate Precautionary Principle and learn about why the Precautionary Principle is a crucial management practice when it comes to the health of our children. In this era of widespread chemical exposure to children, the Precautionary Principle matters!
The Precautionary Principle advocates the elimination of potential hazards to health at the onset of an activity, rather than accepting a level of harm.” Recent science such as the National Cancer Institute’s meticulously written research entitled Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk, published in 2010, shows that toxins are responsible for making our children chronically ill with conditions from autism to cancer.
The logical solution is we must reduce toxic risks to children in their everyday lives. In our homes, yards, schools, cars and buses, and playgrounds. the assault is everywhere: pesticides, mercury, lead, industrial solvents, GMO food additives, artificial growth hormones, arsenic, bisphenol A and phthalates in bottles. So the beginning of a solution is: Become aware and with education reduce your child’s risk and just maybe “change the system”.
Precautionary Principle resolutions were adopted by both Sarasota County and the City of Sarasota.
Temple Beth Sholom, and its schools, became the first local institution to adopt the Precautionary Principle.
Instead of fighting against disability and disease with cures, a never–ending struggle, we now have the solutions, through grassroots parents´ groups replacing potentially harmful elements with a demand for proven harmless ones.
