GREEN goddesses from across the UK are set to swap catwalks and bikinis for recycling rubbish and saving energy at a beauty contest with a difference tomorrow - in which a geography student from Thruxton is taking part.

Becky Sherlock, aged 21, is one of 44 young women from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales aiming to take the crown of Miss Earth UK by impressing judges with a speech about her views on the environment.

A member of the Winchester Green Party, Becky says she has never taken part in such a contest before, but wants to get more young people interested in the three Rs - reduce, reuse and recycle - when it comes to rubbish.

She said: "When I moved to uni, a lot of my housemates and friends were shocked when I put things aside for recycling.

"I know my mum and older people tend to recycle, but I think people who are around my age should get more involved, just because it's so easy to do and it really makes a difference."

The winner of the UK competition will go forward to the full Miss Earth contest, where the winner will get to travel to the Philippines for three week's green volunteer work.
