A Precautionary TaleAbout
Keeping The American Promise: Building Strong, Healthy and Safe Communities
Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
The Purpose of this presentation is to: Increase the public’s understanding of how decisions are being made today. Explain shortfalls in our current regulatory system. Provide guidance and steps individuals and groups can take to influence change.
Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
What do we mean when we say decision-making based on Cautionary Action or The Precautionary Principle?
Wingspread Statement defines the precautionary principle in this way:“When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically.”
Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
Precautionary action is a shift in the waydecisions are made about exposure to chemicals in our air, water, food and consumer products. Instead of asking . . .
How much harm can we tolerate?The precautionary approach asks . . .
How much harm can we avoid?Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
We avoid risks everyday and take preventative actions without much thought – it’s just part of our lives.

How might I make this product with less of a financial investment? Saving money will get me promoted . . .

Recipe For DisasterADD: One part science Several parts of assumptions or guesses about chemicals,exposures and human interactions A complicated mathematical computerized model Calculate the math several ways entering different assumptions and different science and . . .
Out comes a guess about a ―safe level‖ of exposure to a chemical often with the assumption that there is a small number of possible adverse health effects.Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise

A ―small risk‖ to some is an unacceptable risk to others.

The true costs of harm goes beyond the ―gate‖ and becomes the burden of the victims and society

Reducing asthma in Georgia by 20 to 40% saves $27 to $67 million Massachusetts Over 100,000 children in Massachusetts suffer from asthma. Medical costs estimated for environmentally-induced asthma are from $10 to $35 million per year.

Science can only provide guidance for decision-making. We need to shift the burden of proof with corporations studying the potential for harm before it uses a chemical and public health protection must trump profits. Heed early warnings –if it walks, quacks, and looks like a duck – then it’s most likely a duck.
Examine all available alternatives and use the safest solutions.

The children in the hills had more details in their pictures than children living in the valley where there were higher levels of pesticides.
Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
We can change the way decisions are made by taking steps in our daily activities. Ask if a product, chemical, process or practice is suspected of causing harm to health or the environment. Ask if there is a safer alternative available today that can be used.
Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
Where do we begin? -- Start wher
e you live, work, play, pray and learn. Beginning at home and in your community:
1. We can create a shift in the market.2. We will shift public opinion through our local work and conversations.
Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
Steps You Can Take With Your Faith Institution1. Ask what products are being used to clean, control pests, etc. 2. Ask the faith leader to talk about these issues and stewardship of the earth and its creatures. 3. Adopt an institutional purchasing policy that screens products for the purchase of the safest alternatives.Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
Steps You Can Take In Your Child’s School or Daycare1. 2. 3. 4. Ask what cleaning products are used – are they toxic? Do they use pesticides or herbicides on the grass? Where does the food for the lunch program come from? If renovations are planned ask about substitutes for carpets, PVC products – green building materials improve students’ health and learning ability. Start a school based program to educate and engage youth. CHEJ has such a program for K-12th gradeCenter for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
5.
Steps You Can Take With Your City, Town or State Government Leaders1. 2. Pass a purchasing policy that reviews all products for their hazards and alternatives and select the safest products. Pass a policy to phase out pesticide use in parks, playgrounds and athletic fields.
Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
Be A Smart Educated Consumer1. Don’t buy products that place chemicals in our environment. 2. Read labels and call manufacturer’s 800 number and ask them to use safer ingredients.
3. Ask your garden center for non-toxic or a lest toxic products for your lawn garden.Center for Health, Environment, and Justice -- Keeping the American Promise
The future is in our hands.We do not have the time to wait for the federal government to solve this problem. It will take decades – and cost the lives of innocent children and adults. If everyone played a small role—by taking a few steps locally, together we can create the change needed to protect public health, the environment and provide new economic opportunities. It is our responsibility to keep the American Promise to our children and their children. It’s only fair that they too are given a chance to live up to their birth potential—to succeed in strong, healthy and safe communities.
