Mark Ruffalo's $50M Green Energy Push Powers 350 Community Groups

Mark Ruffalo, known for playing the Hulk in Marvel films since 2012, co-founded The Solutions Project in 2013, which has directed over $50 million in donations and microcredits to more than 350 community organizations. The organization focuses on funding groups working with renewable energy and climate change, prioritizing communities that face major environmental impacts and historically receive fewer resources for their own solutions. Ruffalo's environmental activism began with communities affected by fracking, leading him to co-found Water Defense in 2011 and later The Solutions Project with scientist Mark Jacobson, businessman Marco Krapels, and filmmaker Josh Fox.
