Miss Earth 2014: Miss Zambia Cartier Zagorski

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

One of the many problems in Zambia that I am extremely passionate about is the water crisis. There is a relatively high number of cases of water and sanitation-related diseases that infest the country. I am motivated to contribute to the country of Zambia through Earth-awareness and being part of the growth, sustainability, and enrichment of the country, particularly in projects that are centered around that of water purification and being able to provide water that is safe for consumption.

My environmental advocacy would be working to influence public policy in social, political, economic, and cultural spheres in order to bring about change in environmental issues that are faced such as the water crisis in Zambia. It is my aim to create awareness on protecting the public from environmental hazards as well as protecting the natural world as a whole. I want to create something that has a lasting and all around positive as well as sustainable effect.

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

Eco-tourism gives way for countries to do something today that our future self will thank us for.
