What does Edward Norton, Owen Wilson and British Petroleum (BP) Have in Common? …all three are all part of the BP Solar Neighbors program.

Edward Norton may be the new star for the action smash sequel to the new “Hulk” movie, but he has surely been green since 2007! Edward’s part in the new Hulk film is exciting because he is such a distinguished actor. And his commitment to the environment is paramount. In 2007 Edward Norton participated in the BP Celebrity Neighbors program, which allowed Edward Norton to purchase Solar Panels for his home. The program has a community spin, when Edward purchased his Solar Panels. BP donated a Solar Panel System to a low income family in Los Angeles. The entire program is amazing because, celebrities are trend-setters. Since celebrities like Edward Norton like to make a difference in the community, the program is a great way to gain publicity and help low income families as well as the environment…all at the same time.
