Activism
One of Marilyn Lima's more passionate endeavors is combatting climate change. In her modeling, she chooses to work with brands whose values are in line with hers when it comes to climate change, ethical fashion and fabric sourcing. In January 2020, Marilyn walked the runway for Chaussettes Orphelines, a Parisian-based clothing brand committed to promoting ecological fashion and recycling worn clothes to combat textile pollution. Since 2020, Lima has modeled for Jolie Momes, a French lingerie brand that operates eco-responsibly by limiting their production lines to already-existing and locally sourced fabric stocks, and using green packaging for all purchases.{{cite web |last=Pecatte |first=Alice |title=Our Commitments for High-end and Eco-responsible Lingerie |url=https://www.joliesmomes-lingerie.com/fr/page/3-nos-valeurs |website=Jolies Mômes |access-date=September 5, 2022 |archive-date=September 6, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220906021724/https://www.joliesmomes-lingerie.com/fr/page/3-nos-valeurs |url-status=live}} Lima promotes environmental groups Project Rescue Ocean and YouthForClimate on her Instagram and her website.{{cite web |title=Chere planete |url=https://marilynlima.com/fr/chere-planete/ |website=MarilynLima.com |date=April 11, 2019}} and she works alongside Plastic Free Ibiza, IbizaPreservation, and Project Rescue Ocean by running beach clean-up sites in the Basque region of France and Spain.
