Sophie Garénaux

According to Miss Earth's official website, Sophie describes her childhood as "very fulfilling, punctuated by school year, sport (swimming mostly) and my passion for nature."

Sophie became a member of an organization called "Nature Club" for eight years where she experienced teaching kids about flora and fauna.

They participated in various coastal clean-ups along the beaches of northern France, along with touring in different places for waste management and recycling.

She has learned about "respect, education, meaning of work, discipline, patience and love and appreciation for nature that sustains us" during her childhood days.

She mentions "industry, agriculture, waste-water and automobile oil spills" as several factors that contributes to the effects of water pollution.

Since the late twentieth century, with the use of plastics mainly glass and stainless very poorly degradable, the impact of marine human waste has become increasingly important ! !

Sophie also adds that if she became the Miss Earth winner, she will be able to carry out her plans on a global scale where she can contribute for the future.
