National Day to Combat Environmental Pollution

Since 1975, Brazil has dedicated the 14th of August to fight environmental pollution. 

The National Environmental Policy says that "pollution is the result of activities that harm the health, safety and well-being of society, biodiversity and the economy". 

The date invites us to reflect: do my habits contribute to environmental pollution? How can I replace them with more sustainable habits? 

Here are some actions you can take: 

• dispose of waste properly; 

• take quicker showers; 

• wash clothes less often; 

• use public transport, bike, or walk; 

• use rainwater to wash the floor, the car or water the garden; 

• compost your organic waste; 

• buy products with less packaging; 

• turn off unused lamps; 

• use returnable bags; 

• plant trees! 

Seta reaffirms its commitment to the environment through actions to reduce negative impacts and prevent pollution.
