As a means of working toward healthy and sustainable communities, SFTC seeks, first and foremost, to educate. Our greatest tool is the Precautionary Principle which states that when something may pose a risk to environmental or personal health, even if a direct cause-and-effect relationship has yet to be scientifically verified, we need to work together to prevent the harm before it happens. In simple terms, better safe than sorry. Read about the fantastic work that is being done in the Bay Area around the Precautionary Principle. Ways we can impact our livesAs we think about the ways in which we can make change in our own lives, we will share the enormous collection of common information, research, articles, science, and wisdom about what we already know that contributes to health risks. Please see our Resources Page for more information We want to give our communities actions that they can take. Through education, and thoughtful purchasing, we hope we can all learn to embrace a healthier way of life. Togehter we CAN change the world. |
