Otara Gunewardene, founder and CEO of Odel, has been announced as the newest Brand Ambassador for Earth Hour Sri Lanka.

On 29 March, millions of people around the world will turn off their lights for one hour of contemplation for the planet and celebration of their year-round commitment to protecting it.

‘Earth Hour’, the global movement against climate change will be commemorated in the island nation on 29 March (Saturday) from 8:30-9:30pm, with the iconic switch-off event “Power Up Earth Hour”, scheduled to take place at the Coco Veranda, Crescat Boulevard premises from 7.30 – 10.30pm on March 29. 

For the past few years, Earth Hour has made a massive impact around the world thanks to the power of the crowd. But for 2014, we want to make an even greater one.

Spider-Man will be the first superhero ambassador for Earth Hour, the global movement organised by WWF. This year Earth Hour launches Earth Hour Blue, a digital crowd funding and crowdsourcing platform for the planet.
