The precautionary principle is the approach of taking preventive action in the face of uncertainty, where potential risks to human health or the environment are present. It advocates for erring on the side of caution and implementing protective measures even when scientific evidence is not yet conclusive about the full extent of the risks. More importantly:
Proverbs 22:3 "The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it."
