Although Mr. Fox envisioned the group to be a grassroots organization to promote renewable energy, in 2014 the board voted down grassroots organizing work and began to emphasize PR and marketing campaigns by Ruffalo and other celebrities. Mr. Fox was forcibly removed from the board in 2016 by Ruffalo and Executive Director Sarah Shanley Hope after he complained the organization was too heavily dependent on celebrity. All founders except Mark Ruffalo were removed from the board in subsequent years. In 2021, The Solutions Project accepted 43 million dollars from Jeff Bezos and the Bezos Earth Fund an action which was condemned by Mr. Fox as helping to greenwash Bezos and the large carbon footprint and unfair labor practices of Amazon.

Personal life In 2008, Fox's family was offered $100,000 in order to allow a natural gas fracking company to use his land in northern Pennsylvania. Fox set out to learn more about the fracking industry.

His experiences lead to his anti-fracking activism. Awards and nominations Fox was awarded the 2010 LennonOno Grant for Peace by Yoko Ono.
