Spider-Man Named First Superhero Ambassador For Earth Hour

Spider-Man has been named the first superhero ambassador for Earth Hour. The stars of Amazing Spider-Man 2 – Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Jamie Foxx – have pledged to support one Earth Hour Blue crowdfunding project each. Director Marc Webb has announced that he will be supporting the "Power Up A Ranger Project" from WWF-Indonesia. According to Earth Hour, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the most eco-friendly blockbuster in Columbia Pictures' history. Efforts on set and the support of WWF China's Earth Hour Blue project made the production carbon neutral. "I'm proud Spider-Man is the first Superhero ambassador for Earth Hour because he shows we can all be Superheroes when we realize the power we all have," said Andrew Garfield. "Earth Hour gives you the power to inspire anyone, even if you're just one person, and Earth Hour is much more than an hour.  There are great projects from the crowd, for the planet, happening all over the world," said Emma Stone. "Earth Hour isn't just about lights off; it's about people across the world coming together throughout the year to join forces to improve the planet. Never underestimate your power; never underestimate what you can do," said Jamie Foxx. "Earth Hour is a movement full of Superheroes – people harnessing the power of the crowd to inspire change for the good of the planet, imagine the possibilities when we come together and do more," said Marc Webb. Earth Hour is an event movement that is organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature. It began as a simple lights-off event in Sydney, Australia, but now takes place in over 7000 cties and towns around the world. Earth Hour has grown into an organization capable of engaging a large, mainstream community in various environmental projects and issues. Earth Hour 2014 is scheduled to occur on March 29. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 comes to theaters May 2, 2014.
