The Precautionary Principal is the idea that we wear our seatbelts , even though we don’t know if we are going get into a crash .Why do we do that , because taking the action is easy and the consequences could be severe if we fail to take the precautionary action.

It’s exactly the same with U.K. councils continuing to use glyphosate for weed control
Glastonbury took the precautionary principle and stopped applications immediately in 2015 when they realised Glyphosate could be harmful
With toxic chemicals (like glyphosate weedkiller) should we keep being exposed until we are certain that it might cause us harm ?
That means waiting on data , data of more and more sick people , dying people ,birth defects , learning disabilities….
That’s NOT the science that we want to be waiting for while we continue to be exposed .
