The precautionary principle states that in the absence of clear data that indicates the safety of an action, chemical or material that poses a threat to human health, it should not be used. Sustainability is “the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Upstream focus identifies the root causes of disease and manufacturers of illness. | ||
