Green Squirrel is supporting Katia Kvinge for the Miss Earth UK competition as she has made it through to the finals. Please Vote for her!


Katia explained: “This contest is about a very important cause, to help save the environment. Miss Earth UK aims to find four UK country winners who will proudly represent their nation in fulfilling the ideals of the competition – that beauty queens can be strong and effective advocates for Mother Earth. The four overall UK country winners of the competition will then travel to the Miss Earth international competition, where they will compete with winners from over 90 countries. Katia’s stepfather is well known in the environmental field. My stepdad Martin Price is one of the shared Nobel Peace Prize winners with Al Gore, so my family have already made an impact on the environment and I really hope to follow in their footsteps. I have been influenced by the way we should treat the environment. From a very young age I have always learned that the small things each person can do can make a huge difference on the world so it has become a habit to me to always switch off lights when they are not needed or to not waste paper and to make sure my rubbish is recycled.
The pageant aims to bring new meaning to beauty pageants by focusing on and promoting environmental awareness. During their participation in the pageant the Miss Earth delegates are required to plant trees, attend various environmental seminars and educate people on the three Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle).
