Bury the Line, Not Our Children
Coalition of West End Communities for Burying the Line (R.E.T.A. West)
Welcome to 2010!
Well, first of all, we have all taken a well-deserved rest and our down time will continue for just a short while longer. After that, we’ll be moving forward with renewed vigour and you can be sure we’ll be letting everyone know what the next steps are. In the meantime, we hope you had a safe and happy holiday season!

The Precautionary
Principle states
"when there are indications of possible adverse
affects, though they remain uncertain, the risks from
doing nothing may be
far greater than the risks of taking action to control these
exposures.
The burden of proof is shifted from those suspecting risk to those who discount it" (2006 Benevento Resolution).
