A small action to change our world.
Fulfilling our commitment to get involved in causes of direct action, instead of only DX we decided to do something.
For this reason we planted in the Marajó island a small tree in the name of the European DX Council (EDXC) which we affectionately baptized with the name "Chrissy", referring to our friend Chrissy Brand, Chief Editor of BDXC bulletin and European DX Council (EDXC) Secretary, who supported this DXcamp.
We are aware that planting a tree in the midst of the flames that are killing the Amazon rainforest will not be its salvation, but will leave a legacy and is a way to contribute to a better world.
Help the environment does not require big actions, but small ones, such as:
Separate out our waste for later recycling;
Turn off the lights. It seems obvious, but we don't realize how many times we turn on the light of a room we will not stay in;
Eat organic fruits and vegetables. Organic products help the environment because in their production no fertilizers or other polluting products are needed;
Turn of the faucet correctly. When you do not need water, turn off the faucet and check for leaks;
Go by bicycle or public transport. Pollution in big cities comes largely from the excessive use of cars;
Take your own bags to the supermarket. More and more supermarkets are selling plastic bags to avoid their use and encourage recycling;
Take advantage of natural light. To reduce the electricity consumption, open the windows and curtains so that sunlight enters your home;
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.
As you could read, they are small actions that help energy saving, recycling and conservation of these resources.
The report will be ready in January 2020, stay tuned for the official website https://dxcamp-marajo2019.blogspot.com/ and for BDXC (British Dx Club) and SWLing Post publications
