Miss Earth contestants visit HCM City’s largest rubbish dump

VietNamNet Bridge – Twenty beauties from the USA, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Singapore, etc. and host Vietnam spent their entire morning to see how rubbish is treated at the $100 million Da Phuoc garbage dump in HCM City on November 8.

Maricelle Rani Wong from Singapore said she was surprised to see such as big waste treatment site. As the second-year student at the National University of Singapore, Wong has visited several rubbish dumps in Singapore but they are much smaller than the one in HCM City.

Other contestants and Miss Earth 2009 showed their interests in the introduction of Kevin Moore, general director of the Vietnam Waste Solutions, the investor of Da Phuoc rubbish dump, about the waste treatment process.

During the trip, the contestant from South Africa consistently took notes in her small notebook while the contestant from Guatemala raised many questions about the treatment process.

After the field trip, contestants met with local women.

Tonight, November 9, 20 out of nearly 90 contestants will perform their talents in the Talent Show at the Diamond Palace in HCM City.
