WITH an ever-growing awareness of the environment, the work done by Miss Earth South Africa Ambassadors across the country has taken on a new momentum.

The Miss Earth South Africa programme has a unique spin on environmental advocacy.

It is about being a down to earth person, someone that wants to give of themselves to others, someone that wants to be of service to their community and to those around them. Whether at home, at work or at play, each young woman can make a difference.

SA Fusion PR, Georgina Cost said Miss Earth SA is bout understanding the challenges that the planet is faced with and how the individual impacts the environment.

“It is about choosing a cause that you as an individual can champion and create awareness around and provide people with practical solutions for these challenges.

“You could be a Water Hero, a Tree Hugger, a Waste Warrior or a Bunny Lover. You could be a champion for endangered frogs, or the turtles, perhaps your passion is recycling, or rhinos or maybe you love fury little creatures or nature walks; either way we need you to help save our world.

“The challenges are endless, from fighting fracking, to stopping animal cruelty, to deforestation, there are so many causes that need attention. If this resonates with you, the Miss Earth South Africa needs you,” said Georgina.
