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,

pplying the Precautionary Principle: A Personal Encounter with Environmental Policy
Introduction
The precautionary principle is a fundamental approach in environmental science, guiding
decisions in the face of uncertainty to prevent harm to human health and the environment. As
outlined by Kriebel et al. (2001), this principle suggests that when an activity poses potential
risks, even if some cause-and-effect relationships are not fully established scientifically,
precautionary measures should be taken. In this essay, I reflect on a situation in my own life
where the precautionary principle was applied, focusing on water restrictions implemented
during a severe drought. I will critically evaluate the effectiveness of this policy in influencing
human behavior and protecting the environment.
