==Winning answer==
'''Final Question in Miss Earth 2001:''' "Technology makes life very convenient but it is also being blamed for certain environmental problems. How do you propose to find a balance between technology and [[environmental preservation|Earth preservation]]?"<ref name=highbeam-79510645/>

'''Answer of Miss Earth 2001:''' "Well, of course technology does make a lot of problems for us in the environment. But we can do something to make it better. For example in Denmark, we do a lot of farming and we use a lot of technology to make it easier for us. But that also means that we use a lot of chemicals that spread and go down to a ground water and makes the ground water worse. So what we can do and what we are doing at the moment is to try to make a regulations on what chemicals are allowed to be used and also thereby make controls of it so we can use those chemicals less." - [[Catharina Svensson]], represented Denmark.<ref name=highbeam-79510645/><ref name=elemental-beauties/>

Miss Earth 2001 was the first Miss Earth pageant,[1] held at the University of the Philippines Theater in Quezon City, Philippines on 28 October 2001.[2][3]

At the end of the event, Catharina Svensson of Denmark was crowned as Miss Earth 2001.[4][5][6]

Contestants from forty-two countries and territories participated in this year's pageant. The pageant was hosted by Emma Suwannarat, Jaime Garchitorena, and Asha Gill.[7]

Background

University of the Philippines Theater, the venue

Location and date

After the contract of Carousel Productions to stage the Mutya ng Pilipinas and Miss Asia Pacific International pageants was not renewed in the year 2000,[8] the production company, led by Ramon Monzon and Lorraine Schuck, has decided to come up with their own pageants, with the help of former beauty queens from Mutya ng Pilipinas. These pageants are eventually named as Miss Philippines (which eventually became Miss Philippines Earth), and Miss Earth, which focuses on environmental consciousness.[9]

Miss Earth was formally launched in a press conference on April 3, 2001 along with the search of Miss Philippines to represent Philippines in the international competition.[10][11] Likewise, the pageant tied up with the Philippine government agencies such as the Philippine Department of Tourism (DoT), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and at least two international environmental groups such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the American Global Release to further its environmental advocacy.[12][13]

Selection of participants

Contestants from forty-two countries and territories were selected to compete in the pageant. There were originally sixty countries that will compete in this edition, but was trimmed down to fifty-two after the September 11 attacks that happened in New York and Washington, United States. The number of contestants was further whittled to forty-two following the air-strikes on Afghanistan by the coalition led by the United States. Some countries who withdrew due to the aforementioned events include Costa Rica, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Malawi, Nepal, Switzerland, Uruguay, and Vietnam.[14]
