English to Portuguese: The Importance of a Personal Sustainability Project | A Importância de um Projeto de Sustentabilidade Pessoal General field: Science Detailed field: Environment & Ecology
Source text - English The business world is an ever-changing entity that is constantly being fueled by new ideas and initiatives. One of the latest initiatives is no longer just “going green,” but becoming sustainable. This means that simple recycling efforts aren’t going to be enough. Individual employees at any business can take action to work toward sustainability. Creating a green team is one way you can send a message of your need to improve up the chain-of-command. But reflect on your personal habits that you could change for sustainability. Consider taking on a ‘Personal Sustainability Project’ or PSP that could help you achieve sustainability in your office. Encourage others to do the same!...Establishing your PSP means taking on a small project that is something you really believe you can do. Do not try to take on a task that seems impossible. Rather, take on something you know may be a little difficult but something that you can make a habit over time: “Instead of overhauling someone’s lifestyle, we started by finding daily or recurring practices that can express an individual’s values ...”
Translation - Portuguese O mundo dos negócios é uma entidade dinâmica que está constantemente a ser alimentada por novas ideias e iniciativas. Uma das iniciativas mais recentes já não é "ser verde", mas “ser sustentável”. Tal significa que ações simples como a reciclagem não vão ser suficientes. Cada funcionário de qualquer empresa pode tomar medidas ou ações em prol da sustentabilidade. Criar uma equipa verde, por exemplo, é um modo de comunicar a mensagem da necessidade de melhorar a cadeia de comando. Mas tal deve refletir sobre os hábitos pessoais que podemos mudar rumo à sustentabilidade. Considere a possibilidade de um "Projeto de Sustentabilidade Pessoal” ou PSP que poderá ajudar a alcançar a sustentabilidade no escritório ou na empresa. E encorajar outros a fazer o mesmo!... Estabelecer o PSP significa desenvolver um projeto pequeno, algo em que realmente acredite e que seja exequível. Não tente realizar uma tarefa que pareça impossível. Em vez disso, deve ser assumido algo que se sabe que pode ser um pouco difícil, mas que possa ser adquirido como um hábito e praticável ao longo do tempo: "Em vez de reformar o estilo de vida de alguém, deveremos começar por encontrar práticas ou ações diárias ou recorrentes que podem expressar os valores de cada um...”

Bio
I am a Ph.D. in Biology and Ecology, and in 2016, I started my career in translations (Portuguese to English and English to Portuguese).
Being a Freelance Translator allowed me to enhance my proficiency in Scientific Translations, and I conducted several life-science articles and clinical trials. Also, my experience as a Life-Science Editor allowed me to strengthen my academic writing.
I have a vast and diversified professional portfolio, including subtitling TV series and movie projects, gardening book translations, engineering technical manual translations, and MT post-edition projects.
I am detail-oriented, confident, and reliable in my language skills, organized with technical and analytical skills.
Information and Communication are vital to the development of Science and Sustainability, and for that, I am a professional environmental and life science translator.
