Miss Earth 2014: Miss Sweden Frida Fornander

What is your environmental advocacy and why did you choose this?

I call my environmental advocacy “Green Plate – Green Planet” which is about trying to replace some meat from your diet with more vegetables. By that, you are being more environmentally conscious, economical, and it’s also great for you and your body.

Meat products create more pollution and requires more resources like water, for example, than the production methods for plant-based products. Over 51% of global greenhouse-gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture, so it was very simple for me to choose my advocacy. I want to inspire people and make them realize the importance of saving Mother Earth, and simply by eating less meat, we all will be one step closer to our goal!

What tip can you share to promote this year's theme, Eco Tourism?

“Support eco tourism and explore the Earth without leaving global footprints”
