MISS EARTH 2001

Final Question: Technology makes life very convenient but it is also being blamed for
certain environmental problems. How do you propose to find a balance between
technology and Earth preservation?
..
Winning Answer:
"Well ofcourse technology does make a lot of problems for us in the environment, but
we can do something to make it better. For example in Denmark, we do a lot of farming
and we use a lot of technology to make it easier for us. But that also means that we use
a lot of chemicals that spread and go down to a ground water and makes the ground
water worse. So what we can do and what we are doing at the moment is to try to make
a [law] or regulations on what chemicals are allowed to be used and also thereby make
controls of it so we can use those chemicals less."

Final Question: At the end of each rainbow, so the saying goes is a pot of gold. As a
woman of the Earth, what else would you rather find at the end of the rainbow?
..
Winning Answer:
"Honestly, there are things that are much more important than gold in this Earth. For me
personally, the most important is the sentiments of the people. To give love and smile to
human beings, to be able to give them a hand when needed, to give help to someone
who needs your presence and also God is always with us all the time which for me is
very important. The first thing I think when I open my eyes is heaven. When we have
Him in our hearts and minds, everything is better, and we can see people how they
really are inside not to see if they have gold or not. For me, the rainbow means life,
means God, and means happiness - the things that matters in life. I would like to give all
of these wonderful things that I also have to all of you." -Dania Prince of Honduras-

respect each other, they don't respect the nature, [and] they don't respect life. That's
