Application of the Precautionary Principle in Environmental
Interaction: A Personal Reflection
Introduction
The precautionary principle, as outlined by Kriebel et al. (2001),
advocates for proactive measures to prevent harm to the environment
and human health in the face of scientific uncertainty. This principle
asserts that lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason
to delay preventive actions, particularly when there is a potential for
serious or irreversible harm. This essay reflects on a personal experience
where the precautionary principle has been applied, evaluating its
effectiveness in guiding human behavior and interactions with the
environment.
