Green Philly is a media company making sustainability local, accessible, and affordable. Our mission is to connect people to eco-solutions in the greater Philadelphia region, while also facilitating the sustainability community’s growth.
Paralleling our passions, Green Philly grew organically from our frustration with the misnomer that sustainability was not accessible or even just plain simple. Whether it’s staying current on the latest news, event roundups, exploring topics you won’t find in your local paper or simple tips to make your life easier, Green Philly helps ease the transition into your environmentally conscious lifest

Happy 🌎 Earth Day 🌱 🌳 friends - co-founder/editor Julie here. I’ve been thinking all day about what to say on here, as it’s an ✨important✨ environmental day of recognition. But for us, we live sustainability EVERY day. (And that’s not a catch phrase.) To me, sustainability is finding those change makers and moments wherever I am. It could be walking around my neighborhood and spotting a rain barrel, up-cycled planter or neighbor made wildlife refuge. It’s traveling across the US (or abroad) and seeing composting barrels or anti-littering messages. It’s hiking in nature and spotting wildlife or simply residents that make the parks their place of joy. And it’s seeing #climatechange right here in Philadelphia - whether it’s the rare sight of I-676 flooded or flooded streets during increased rain events.
So for us, Earth Day is almost another day for us — just (mostly) everyone else acknowledges it in their own way. What does earth day mean to you??

Hajjah Glover, founder of @_glovergardens, aspires to expand her business to reach more people. She hopes to one day hire a team of staff members and build community sovereignty beyond the borders of this city. The greatest challenge in running Glover Gardens, she said, is meeting the demand she knows exists for food justice and access.
“I grew up in these neighborhoods but I never had the consciousness,” said Glover. “My community – we don’t have the fresh fruits and vegetables. That’s an issue and I want to come up with solutions.”
