Green babes beauty contest

WHAT do we want? Girls in bikinis. When do we want it? Now!

Who said eco-campaigning had to be boring?

These girls stripped off in the name of the planet for the Miss Earth beauty contest 2008.

It helps raise awareness of green issues around the world and is being held in the Philippines.

The competition - now in its 8th year - has attracted 85 gorgeous environmentally-conscious cuties from around the world.

Heats were held around the globe to whittle down the finalists.

Yorkshire's Caroline Duffy is flying the flag for the UK at the event, where tasks have included tree planting and visiting local schools to speak about nature.

The 21-year-old teaching assistant, pictured here, loves orang-utans and her ambition is to work with them in Borneo.

She added: "I want to show people that with determination, together we can all move forward into living healthier, happier and more sustainable lives."

We're right behind their message at The Sun Online - even if their skimpy bikinis result in temperatures going up even more.
