New Zealand is going to arrange the Miss New Zealand Earth 2007 competition on September1, 2007. The winner of Miss New Zealand Earth 2007 will represent New Zealand in the coming Miss Earth 2007 beauty pageant. The competition will be held in Manila, Philippine. Rachel Crofts, who won the Miss Manawatu crown is now interested to take part in the Miss New Zealand Earth 2007 competition as her goal is to attend in the Miss Earth 2007. The interesting thing is that, two former Miss Earth New Zealand winners were also from Manawatu.
As one of the main objective of Miss Earth beauty pageant is to preserve environment and increase awareness among the people.
Fairfax New Zealand Limited 2007 reported:
Miss Earth encourages candidates to get involved in the preservation of the environment. Miss Crofts, 19, says there's a focus on being a role model for young people, encouraging them to look after the environment.
``I think everyone has to pull together if we are to make a change, everyone has to do their bit.''
She cites forgoing plastic bags, using eco light bulbs and walking more as changes people can make. She thinks New Zealand has already started to look after itself and is one of the leaders in environmental protection.
Miss Crofts also wants to make a research in order to measure the position of New Zealand in terms of environmental standard in the world. Miss Earth is third most popular beauty pageant competition in the world. Miss Earth has been being held since 2001. Miss Earth 2007 would be the seventh edition of Miss Earth. Environment is directly related to our daily life activities and people should be aware of this global issue. I hope the contenders of Miss Earth 2007 will be able to raise awareness about environment among the people.
Unfortunately this year the Miss Earth New Zealand pageant was cancelled so we will have to wait another year before we send one of our girls to represent the country at the international pageant
