ARLINGTON, VA / ACCESSWIRE / August 22, 2024 / Samantha Anderson, a renowned beauty queen with a decade-long illustrious career, has ascended from Miss Teen Arizona to Miss United States and now, Miss United Universe 2024. Her crowning achievement goes beyond her beauty and grace, as it highlights her pivotal environmental initiative, "Crowned with Soil," advocating for sustainable living and environmental stewardship.

Raised by international pilots, Anderson was immersed in global cultures from a young age, instilling a profound respect for the planet. Her travels across all fifty states and over thirty countries have fueled her passion for environmental advocacy.

The Crowned with Soil initiative is Samantha's rallying call for communities to adopt sustainable practices. According to the United Nations, about 33% of global food production is lost or wasted annually. Samantha aims to combat this by encouraging composting, reducing waste, and enriching soil health, which will contribute to more robust local agriculture.

"When I am not traversing the globe, you'll find me one with the earth, blissfully grounded in my garden sanctuary. Barefoot and comforted by the embrace of dirt, compost, and blooming flowers," Samantha shares about her personal connection to nature.

Samantha integrates gardening into everyday life, believing that individuals can reconnect with nature and understand the importance of biodiversity. Her initiative will include workshops, community garden projects, and educational programs that teach the benefits of sustainable living. Samantha plans to collaborate with environmental organizations to amplify her message and create a larger impact.

Samantha's dedication to environmental sustainability is deeply personal. Growing up with parents who were international pilots, she learned the value of perseverance and adaptability. Her travels gave her a unique perspective on global cultures and the interconnectedness of our world.

When Anderson was just 16, she completed her first solo flight, showcasing her determination and courage. Her aviation experiences have fueled her passion for exploration and underscored the importance of addressing environmental issues that affect the entire planet. "Though I'm not actively flying, I am still committed to championing women and diversity within aviation and beyond, encouraging others to take up much-deserved space in their respective fields. Together, we will soar to new heights in a symphony of adventure."

The Crowned with Soil initiative aims to foster a deeper connection between individuals and their communities by encouraging sustainable gardening and composting. It empowers people to take active roles in environmental stewardship, leading to increased community engagement and collaboration. The initiative also aims to educate future generations on the importance of sustainability, creating a ripple effect that promotes long-term ecological consciousness.

"As more people adopt these practices, the collective effort can significantly reduce waste, enhance biodiversity, and contribute to a healthier planet," she explains. "I strive to make logical and efficient switches to eco-friendly alternatives whenever possible, but I'm also unapologetically drawn to the thrill of exploration, eagerly boarding planes to explore the world. I invite you to join me in incorporating eco-friendly habits into your daily routine, embracing the 'ish' mentality that acknowledges imperfection without guilt."

Samantha Anderson's reign as Miss United Universe 2024 is set to be impactful and transformative. Through her Crowned with Soil initiative, she hopes to inspire individuals and communities to take small but meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future.

"Remember, it's about progress, not perfection. So sip your coffee guilt-free, savor the pasta, and let's embark on this adventure together, knowing that every little effort counts," she emphasized.

Looking ahead, Anderson envisions expanding the Crowned with Soil initiative globally, creating partnerships with international environmental organizations to amplify the impact of her advocacy. She aims to implement large-scale community garden projects and establish educational programs in schools worldwide to foster a new generation of eco-conscious individuals.

Through the Miss United Universe platform, Anderson intends to raise awareness of her environmental initiatives and the importance of unity and authenticity.
