As a Miss Earth delegate, the representative should have environmental advocacy that serves as her focus as part of the pageant's environmental awareness. When Michelle was asked what her advocacy is all about, she answered, "I would like to work on changing minds and transforming hearts, to be more aware of what’s happening in the world right now. If we transform our way to see the world and change our habits little by little we will increase our planet’s chance of surviving the contamination produce by us. As Miss Earth, I would like to work with every person that I know as a family, a lot of people is better than just one so we can make the message get to more places. Also as Miss Earth Colombia will continue helping Miss Earth 2015 project with the recycling of used tires because I have seen the positive impact this campaign has to create in restoring abandoned parks that now are used by young kids as playgrounds."
