Using the case studies in Kriebel et al (2001) as examples, consider a situation in your
own lifeworld in which the precautionary principle has been applied and that has
affected your interaction with the environment. Write a short essay (no more than 3
pages) in which you describe the situation and then critically evaluate the effectiveness
of the policy in terms of human behaviour. Kriebel, D, Tickner, J, Epstein, P, Lemons, J,
Levins, R, Loechler, EL, Quinn, M, Rudel, R, Schettler, T & Stoto, M. 2001. The
precautionary principle in environmental science. Environmental Health Perspectives,
109(9):871-875.
Title: The Application of the Precautionary Principle in Water Conservation
During a Drought
Introduction
The precautionary principle is a critical concept in environmental science that
emphasizes caution in the face of uncertainty, especially when human health and the
environment are at stake. Kriebel et al. (2001) argue that this principle should guide
decision-making when the potential risks are significant, even if scientific evidence is not
conclusive. This essay examines a situation where the precautionary principle was
applied in my community during a severe drought, leading to the implementation of
water conservation policies. The essay will critically evaluate the effectiveness of these
policies in altering human behavior and protecting the environment.
