MISS EARTH ENGLAND 2016

Luissa Burton

Home Town: Worcester, Worcestershire

Occupation: Multidimensional Coach & Healer

During her time at Miss Earth, Luissa spent one month travelling around The Philippines planting trees and speaking at schools and universities on environmental awareness alongside her fellow contestants. The coronation was held in front of 10,000 people at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, and at this final stage of the competition, Luissa walked away with a Top 16 placement - a first for England. Following on from Miss Earth, in 2017, Luissa was invited to meet with The First Lady of Ghana at the President’s house to plant trees and urge them to place more trash bins around the capital city of Accra. The First Lady of Ghana implemented this request. In recognition of her environmental efforts, in November 2019, she was invited alongside six other social conscious leaders to privately meet with the Dalai Lama at his residence in Dharamshala.

Luissa is a strong advocate for Mother Earth, encouraging a generation of impacters over influencers. “Fixing our planet is not an individual effort, we need to start coming together if we want to see real change in our lifetime. True influence is creating change through impactful work.”. Luissa currently has her own “Green Is The New Sexy” column in Exquisite International magazine and is certified by the University of Cambridge in Sustainability Management. “My vision as The Official Green Queen is to use my voice, scope of influence and social media presence to educate the public that being green and acting green is truly hip, aspirational and cool - “Green Is The New Sexy”. Beyond just these catchy phrases, at the heart of it all as a social conscious leader, is to raise the healthy and positive vibes of the planet and invite others to do the same.”
