Planeta em perigo: faça a sua parte<br />

Endangered world: pull your way<br />

Aquecimento global. Diminuição dos recursos naturais do<br />

planeta, incluindo a água. Escassez <strong>de</strong> locais para <strong>de</strong>scarte<br />

<strong>de</strong> lixo. Fontes alternativas <strong>de</strong> energia. Desperdício. Essas são<br />

questões preocupantes do mundo <strong>de</strong> hoje, temas <strong>de</strong> conferências<br />

e congressos internacionais e pauta <strong>de</strong> conselhos nacionais. A<br />

preservação do nosso planeta é sinônimo <strong>de</strong> qualida<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> vida e<br />

responsabilida<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> todos.<br />

A ativida<strong>de</strong> física também é uma questão <strong>de</strong> qualida<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> vida já<br />

que interfere diretamente em nossa saú<strong>de</strong>, seja por intermédio <strong>de</strong><br />

uma simples caminhada ou participação em competições <strong>de</strong> alto<br />

<strong>de</strong>sempenho. Porém a prática <strong>de</strong> exercícios exige um meio-ambiente<br />

saudável.<br />

E justamente por essa relação tão íntima entre esporte e meioambiente,<br />

os organizadores da etapa <strong>de</strong> Brasília do Circuito <strong>Mundial</strong><br />

<strong>de</strong> <strong>Vôlei</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Praia</strong>, em parceria com o Governo do Distrito Fe<strong>de</strong>ral e<br />

Banco do Brasil, implementaram inúmeras ações <strong>de</strong> or<strong>de</strong>m prática<br />

para conscientizar o público sobre a necessida<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> mudanças<br />

urgente <strong>de</strong> comportamento e consumo.<br />

Fernando von Oertzen, VP <strong>de</strong> Novos Negócios da ReUnion, faz<br />

questão <strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>stacar a importância da participação <strong>de</strong> todos na<br />

preservação do meio-ambiente. “Mais importante do que palavras e<br />

discursos são as ações e exemplos que po<strong>de</strong>mos dar no nosso dia<br />

a dia. Pequenos gestos po<strong>de</strong>m fazer a diferença e se cada um fizer<br />

a sua parte os resultados, no todo, aparecerão. É isso que estamos<br />

fazendo durante a semana do evento: mostrando que é possível”.<br />

Global warming. A <strong>de</strong>crease in the planet’s natural resources,<br />

including water. Not enough dump yards. Alternative energy<br />

sources. Waste… All these issues have been at the core of the<br />

world’s attention, international conferences and congresses, and<br />

national agendas. Preserving our planet has become synonymous<br />

with life quality and everyone’s responsibility.<br />

Physical activity is also a life quality issue because it has a direct<br />

effect on our health, whether we simply go for a walk or take<br />

part in high performance competitions. However, doing physical<br />

exercises requires a healthy environment.<br />

Based on such a close relationship between sports and<br />

environment, the organizers of the Brasilia World Tour partnered<br />

with the Fe<strong>de</strong>ral District Government and Banco do Brasil to<br />

implement several practical actions aimed at making people<br />

aware of a compelling need to make changes both in behaviour<br />

and consumer habits.<br />

ReUnion New Business Vice <strong>Presi<strong>de</strong>nt</strong> Fernando von Oertzen<br />

highlights the importance of having everybody participate in<br />

environment-aimed actions. “More important than just words<br />

and speeches are actions and examples we can provi<strong>de</strong> on a<br />

daily basis. Small actions can make a big difference. If each of<br />

us plays our own part, the results will be quite evi<strong>de</strong>nt in the big<br />

scene. That is exactly what we will be doing during the week in<br />

this event: We will show that yes, it is possible.”<br />
