Miss Earth 2014: Miss Zimbabwe Sandiswe Bhule
What is your environmental advocacy and why did you choose this?
I chose the following:
- Waste management because this is a major problem in the world in both urban and rural areas. Waste management problems cascade into other areas of the environment such as the air which is polluted when litter is burnt, and water which is contaminated through improper waste disposal. This goes to show that waste management solutions pave the way for tackling other environmental issues.
- Afforestation as there is a need for it to be spoken about and acted upon in Zimbabwe and the rest of the world. There is a huge gap that needs to be filled in the whole country and a lot of demystifying of facts around the topic. I would like to work towards creating an awareness on the importance of afforestation, how one can play their part in it, and why it is necessary to plant indigenous trees more.
What tip can you share to promote this year's theme, Eco Tourism?
Let us encourage citizens of the world to actively participate in sustaining eco-tourist attractions, by increasing awareness on and allowing them to earn a living from the eco-tourism.
