She is partnered with We Do Ethical, an eco-conscious brand that promotes ethical living.
Last year, the company asked its contestants to make an ‘eco-dress’ for the finals, and this year the goal was to raise money to encourage tree planting across the UK.
Ms Green has completed her shark diving challenge at The Bear Grylls Adventure Centre in Birmingham and raised £2,040.
She got to swim with 11 of the marine beasts and feed multiple fish and stingrays.
Proceeds will go to Beauty With A Purpose charity and We Do Ethical's tree planting pledge.
The Miss England contestant posted an update on her social media page and said: "It was such an amazing experience and showed me how chilled and calm sharks are.
"I got to be up close with so much amazing marine creatures and feeding them was so much fun!"

Her mum Caroline Green is amazed her daughter braved the shark dive.
She said: "I was extremely proud that she was able to raise funds for charity by doing something so extreme like a Shark dive but shes always been adventurous I would be terrified, but as she has her PADI license I knew she would be safe."
So far this year, Alina has also collected over 800 tree planting pledges that not only offsets CO2 pollution, but also aids African families out of poverty and hunger, whilst increasing biodiversity for native wildlife.
