Willy Phillips

Willy is a correspondent for Earth Refuge, contributing regularly to the Current Affairs section.

Willy Phillips graduated with a degree in Environmental Studies from Dartmouth College in 2020. Throughout his studies, Willy found a passion in the tension between humans and water resources. From flooding to drought, Willy sees water usage to be a critical course of study as climate change exacerbates resource access.

Currently, Willy runs a recreation area in New Hampshire, focusing on improving the sustainability of the grounds through a conscious reduction of resources.

Next year, Willy hopes to pursue a master’s degree in environmental science and hydrology in London. Willy hopes to gain practical skills which give him a path to inform perceptions of wastewater and ultimately reduce fresh water demands of municipalities.

Outside of work, Willy can be found swimming with his dog, Scooby, practicing saxophone, and learning how to hold a handstand.
