Miss Earth England 2008

Caroline from Penyghent Avenue in Burnholme, beat off competition from 48 other finalists to scoop first place in the English final of the planet-saving pageant. After representing the Yorkshire and the Humber region, she will represent England in the international Miss Earth final in the Philippines.

The 21-year-old, who is a member of Friends of the Earth and the World Wide Fund for Nature, and also has an adopted orang-utan, said she was thrilled to have won. At Saturday’s UK final in Royal Leamington, contestants had to complete various challenges before the judges, and outline their environmental credentials. Caroline’s presentations included a speech about saving the rainforest, and talks about her own work locally. For winning the UK final, she also got a crown, a custom-made designer bag from recycled car number plates complete with swarovski crystals, and £10,000 prize.

The former Fulford School student currently works as a volunteer teaching assistant at St Aelred’s RC Primary School, and as a volunteer at Low Moor community allotments with local children, helping them grow their own fruit and vegetables. Caroline was one of three York contestants who represented the Yorkshire and Humber region in Saturday’s final, with Gemma Hale, 21, and Rebecca Geldard, 20, also taking part.
