Upon first glance, Lindsey Coffey seems like any other model—beautiful, graceful, and fashionable—but her passion for protecting the environment sets her apart. In 2020, Lindsey was crowned the winner at Miss Earth, an annual international beauty pageant that advocates for environmental awareness and conservation. The topic of environmental consciousness is usually approached from one of two extremes: the unreasonable hysteria of climate change activism or the utter apathy from people who believe the climate change hysteria is a joke. But Lindsey offers a different perspective. She encourages people to understand that the Earth has limited resources and that we can all be more conscious about how we treat the environment, even if it's small changes in our day-to-day life.
