In this context the proponent of an activity, rather than the public, should bear the burden of proof. The process of applying the precautionary principle must be open, informed and democratic and must include potentially affected parties. It must also involve an examination of the full range of alternatives, including no action." - Wingspread Statement on the Precautionary Principle, Jan. 1998 Source: Science and the Environment Health Network http://www.sehn.org/precaution.html Additional Information: How Risk Assesment Poisoned Our Children The Precautionary Principle Answering the Critics of Precaution Part I Answering the Critics of Precaution Part II
