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.
Application of the Precautionary Principle in My Lifeworld: A Critical
Evaluation
Introduction
The precautionary principle is a key approach in environmental science,
urging preventive action when there is a risk of harm to human health or
the environment, even if some cause-and-effect relationships are not fully
established scientifically. This principle emphasizes the need to take action
in the face of uncertainty to avoid potential risks. This essay will explore a
situation from my own life where the precautionary principle was applied
and will critically evaluate the effectiveness of the policy in terms of human
behavior, drawing comparisons with the case studies presented by Kriebel
et al. (2001).
