Along with a group of friends he launched Resilient Power Puerto Rico, using the strength of renewable, solar energy to bring power back to the island.

At last count, Marvel’s initiative was able to bring power to 20 community centers, helping over 100,000 people in the process. It’s also a huge step towards a sustainable, Earth-friendly future for the island.
