It seems obvious, but we don&#8217;t realize how many times we turn on the light of a room we will not stay in;<\/li>\n<li>Eat organic fruits and vegetables. Organic products help the environment because in their production no fertilizers or other polluting products are needed;<\/li>\n<li>Turn off the faucet correctly. When you do not need water, turn off the faucet and check for leaks;<\/li>\n<li>Go by bicycle or public transport. Pollution in big cities comes largely from the excessive use of cars;<\/li>\n<li>Take your own bags to the supermarket. More and more supermarkets are selling plastic bags to avoid their use and encourage recycling;<\/li>\n<li>Take advantage of natural light. To reduce the electricity consumption, open the windows and curtains so that sunlight enters your home;<\/li>\n<li>Recycle everything you can. Before throwing clothes, books or toys, think about whether you can give them a second chance to avoid spending and buying everything new. You will save money and protect the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you could read, they are small actions that help energy saving, recycling and conservation of these resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The report will be ready in January 2020<\/strong>,<br \/>\nStay tuned for the official website\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dxcamp-marajo2019.blogspot.com\/\">https:\/\/dxcamp-marajo2019.blogspot.com\/<\/a>\u00a0and for the publications of SWLing Post and the BDXC (British Dx Club).<\/p>\n<p><b>Ivan Dias da Silva Junior &amp; Martin Butera<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>(15.61 Crew founders)<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Martin Butera who shares the following note: A small action to change our world.
