Translating by Google, Portuguese into English.
Hi guys, that is the abstract of my article, I'd be really thankfull if you can tell me wether that is right or not.
O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir alternativas a economia de mercado, sem limites a produção, que levou a crise ambiental, utilizando para isto as questões da racionalidade ambiental de Leff (2006), mostrando a necessidade de limitar essa produção e a coleta seletiva como uma alternativa de emprego e renda para os catadores, utilizando os preceitos da economia solidária. Levantando dados dos impactos ambientais, expondo como a diminuição na produção pode contribuir para diminuir a quantidade de lixo produzida diariamente e, conseqüentemente, melhorar a qualidade de vida na sociedade e reduzir custos com a disposição dos resíduos sólidos em aterros sanitários. Além da utilização da coleta seletiva e reciclagem como uma maneira de reaproveitar a matéria-prima, diminuindo os danos a natureza.
This is the translation that I did by google translate.

Raising data on environmental impacts, explaining how the decrease in production can contribute to decrease the amount of garbage produced daily and, consequently, improve the quality of life in society and reduce costs with the disposal of solid waste in landfills. In addition to the use of selective collection and recycling as a way to reuse the raw material, reducing the damage to nature.

I'll do my best but this is very technical so you should check that I have captured your meaning correctly. Where you have a specific technical phrase, you could try using a website called 'linguee" which I find is quite good for seeing how others have translated specific phrases.
Azul=melhorar, amarelo =corrigir
The objective of this work is to discuss alternatives to the market economy, without limits to production, that led to the environmental crisis,* using the concept** of environmental rationality described by Leff (2006), showing the need to limit this production and selective collection*** as a alternative to paid employment and income for the harvesters, using the precepts of the solidarity economy. Producing data on environmental impacts, explaining how scaling down production can contribute to a reduction in the amount of waste produced daily and, consequently, improve the quality of life in society and reduce costs incurred in the disposal of solid waste in landfills. In addition, the use of selective collection and recycling as a way to reuse the raw material reduces the damage to nature****.
*=this is a very long sentence so you might consider breaking it up, say by staring a new sentence here: just insert ". This is done using..."
**=I have changed this sentence slightly. "questions" doesn't seem right. Consider "idea", "theory" or "concept" in either the singular or plural. I'm not really familiar with the work so I'm not sure what's best.
***=selective collection also sounds wrong but again I'm not sure what to suggest. I think coleta should be translated as "harvest" but I'm not sure what a selective harvest would look like... This might be a good phrase to try in linguee.
****=the last sentence is an accurate translation of the Portuguese but it doesn't read like a proper English sentence because there is no main verb. The whole sentence could be joined onto the previous sentence,but that would make it quite long, so if you want to keep it separate, consider changing one of your gerunds /present participles to present indicative. I have changed "reducing" to "reduces" for example, and taken out the word 'to' to make it into a complete statement, but maybe thats not quite how you intended to say it...?
