 IT is a beauty pageant with an environmentally friendly message.
The Miss Earth Australia contest proves you can pose semi-naked on a beach and conserve the trees, too.
With environmental issues and climate change near the top of Australia's list of concerns these days,
an entrepreneur decided to use busty blondes and brunettes to raise awareness of a planet in crisis.
The competition, in its fourth year in Australia, drew 36 contestants from all over the country in 2007.
A quick glance at the Miss Earth website suggests saving the environment is as much about climate change as it is about cleavage.
The winner of Australian Miss Earth, 21-year-old Canberra resident Victoria Stewart, has no qualms about posing in a bikini to enforce her views on global warming.
"There are many sources of natural pollution that face the world but I think the biggest issue is man-made pollution and environmental damage," she says on her website profile.
Ms Stewart will fly to the Philippines next month to compete in the international Miss Earth pageant.
If she wins, Australia could be graced with the international pageant next year. / News.com.au
