Green Philly’s Everyday Heroes: Skyler Willman-Cole

Although we love celebrating sustainable organizations like Philadelphia Water, we truly believe in the grassroots power of Philadelphians here on GPB.

A south Philly resident via South Ohio & Baltimore, Skyler Willman-Cole is a new Philadelphian who cares about his community. In lieu of presents, his family gives back to an organization with a mission each year for Christmas. One year, Skyler recognized the work Solar States does for at-risk youth and suggested to donate to them. Not long after, he landed a position at the company and now lives a South Philly sustainable lifestyle.

To kick off our video series, we introduce this video with Skyler Willman-Cole, Operations Manager at Solar States. Find out how he lives a sustainable life both in work in play in the video below.
