Manila Bulletin Entertainment: If you could give any advice to children about caring for their environment, what would it be and why?

Miss Earth 2025 Natálie Puškinová: "Okay, I would say that we are all living on one planet, even though each of us is living in a different country. However, we are still sharing the same environment, and we are facing different issues. Still, I think the main key is to unite, to really talk about it, not to be ignorant, but really talk about it, because for me, especially here in Manila, it's my first time facing a typhoon. I'm shocked by the weather, and I was so scared, and I'm feeling so sorry for those people who lost their lives here in the typhoon. So I think the best key is to educate others and to care, and just be grateful for where you're living, and just not to be ignorant."

Miss Earth Air 2025 Sóldís Vala Ívarsdóttir: "I would want to say we all think as one person, but I want to advise people to take up space and let their voice be heard because we might think that we don't make enough difference by one person. But as we are all individuals, we can make a big difference, so take up space, be yourself, and talk about what you think about."

Miss Earth Water 2025 Mỹ Anh Trịnh: "I come from Vietnam. I experienced a typhoon and a lot of flooding as well. So I can say that those actions to protect the environment, you don't have to make it big; you can do it small from the very first step. And we are all sisters and brothers around the world, we are not coming from one country, but we can unite, we can share the way to save the environment with different countries. Sharing is the most important because, after all, that's all we do: we're helping another country to get them better."
