User:Mauriziok/Miss Earth 2017

Miss Earth 2017 was the 17th edition of the Miss Earth pageant with the theme "Heroines fighting climate change". It was held on November 4, 2017 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. Katherine Espín of Ecuador crowned her successor Karen Ibasco of the Philippines at the end of the event. This is the fourth time Philippines won Miss Earth.

Placements
NOTE (*): For this year's pageant, there were no "1st, 2nd and 3rd Runner-up". Instead, the non-winning Elemental Queens were of equal ranking (they are all the Runners-up), with each being eligible to replace the winner in the event that would be necessary. Therefore, the ordinal numbers 1st, 2nd and 3rd before the word Runner-Up here are only formal.

Winning answer
I believe that the real problem in this world is not climate change; the real problem is us because of our ignorance and apathy. What we have to do is to start changing our ways, to start recalibrating our minds, and redirecting our steps, because together, as a global community, our micro efforts will have a macro effect to help save our home, our planet.
