Environmental concern

"I have a very strong feeling when it comes to help the environment. The most important thing, I believe is to educate people into being clean and respectful to the environment. Learn to throw away garbage in the trash can, if you are not using the running water turn it off. Don’t waste it." Stefanie De Roux, finalist in Miss Earth 2006 [ [http://www.santabanta.com/contestants.asp?picid=1592 Miss Panama at Miss Earth 2006 Contest - - Pictures, Images, Wallpapers and Profile ] ]
