From Global Green USA:
On behalf Global Green USA’s board of directors and competition jury chair Brad Pitt, welcome to the Sustainable Design Competition for New Orleans – Advancing the Green Rebuilding of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast!
This competition combines Global Green USA’s commitment to green affordable housing, sustainable cities, and climate solutions that work for communities, with Brad Pitt’s passion for intelligent architecture. The competition is a central component of Global Green USA’s sustainable rebuilding initiative for New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, which began 10 days after the landfall of Hurricane Katrina. The idea for the competition developed from a conversation between Brad Pitt and myself at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York City in September 2005.
This design competition is truly an opportunity to give back to New Orleans, the birthplace of great culture, music, food, and architecture. It is our goal that green design, clean energy and healthy building be central to the rebuilding of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Using culturally, environmentally and climactically appropriate designs, materials and strategies, we hope the submissions to this competition will use great creativity and offer powerful ideas to help achieve this goal.
Global Green USA’s “Healthy Homes and Smart Neighborhoods Response Team” initiative for New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region is an outgrowth of the organization’s decade-long commitment to improving the lives of low-income families through greening affordable housing, creating sustainable neighborhoods, and advancing climate solutions that work for communities. In short, focusing on community solutions that address two of our greatest global challenges: climate change, and poverty.
Global Green USA’s goals include: greening 10,000 homes (via policy incentives through tax credit financing and guidelines developed with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity); educating the public and professionals about green and healthy building (via our New Orleans resource center, education, and workshops); encouraging the greening schools and places of worship. With support from the Home Depot Foundation, Jerry and Ann Moss, and dozens of individuals (including staff members of Global Green USA), we opened a New Orleans’ office in February and a Green Building Resource Center in May. The office and center were established also in part to serve as a design collective – with a front end education center for the public and professionals with nearly museum quality display of products and systems that are green, of good design, and regionally available — to help build the green building expertise of the local professional community. The competition will help advance this goal.
Also…
Competition sponsors Global Green and Brad Pitt have as their goal the generation of ideas for sustainable redevelopment in New Orleans, redevelopment that will encourage livable cities everywhere and discourage the consumption of non-renewable resources; redevelopment that will help lower their dependence on fossil fuels and their byproducts; redevelopment that will lead New Orleans to a position of prominence in the area of sustainable development and thus help recapture its reputation as a place of innovation and leadership.

# 209 | Rob is Right wBut why are you so concerned about it? It’s killing some of you that with each passing day, Brad & Angelina "move further away from failing as predicted." They were supposed to implode ages ago, and yet, here they are stronger, and building an even more broad and solid partnership in every area of their lives. You can insult MP all you want by claiming she’s a dolt without a brain, and who had to tow the party line because she was to afraid to speak her mind and say "no, that’s not what I want." You can reduce her life choices to PR bull, buy it want stop a thing because the woman has more class than your Jennifer Anistion loving ass ever will, and you just remember your bull_shit rant about "what you know because you hand out paper clips and deliver donuts at a PR firm" that when the movie comes out……..stay home, pop some popcorn and rent DERAILED.jpf
QQQQ (#244), isn’t it sad how they recycle the same old crap which are all assumptions, of course. Why is that Scarborough piece of crap ******* wreaking such havoc over something he knows nothing about - what a Shiela! He is so pathetic! I think their rating is going down so they would do anything at all cause for attention.
Could we please stop talking about Jen! Why on every Brad/Angie post are there more posts about Jen. Everyone on this site (especially the Angie fans) are obsessed with her. They have been seperated now for a long time. Jen and Brad have both moved on. Brad is happy and Jen is happy - end of story. Part of me thinks that it is because Angie and Brad are not that interesting if there is no Jen in the picture. For example if Jen wasn’t mentioned on this board there would only be a few posts about Angie and Brad. Not much to say. A lot of the 2,000+ posts on some are about Jennifer. Take her away and there are hardly any posts. I challenge you to only post about Brad/Angie. I know that you cannot do this it will be impossible as there is nothing to say once you can’t talk about Jennifer. And to those who say they are only replying to the Angie haters. You really don’t think that they feel that way do you. They just come here and post because you react. Kind of like kids in school poking each other to get a reaction. And boy do you get a reaction on this board. It is kind of fun to play with you guys. It’s pretty easy to say certain things and know exactly how you are going to react. I get a kick out of it. Think you can’t talk about Jennifer? No way you guys can’t stop yourselves because she is so interesting. Take her away and it’s no fun anymore.On the role. Is the lady who Jolie will protray not have darker skin? Would Halle Berry have been a better choice? She has won and Oscar and does roles well. Just wondering. # 230 | A Jen Fan |————–For the record, almost evey post that followed yours proved your point. Whassup up brangelians? Are you just upset that BP/AJ are not widely perceived as a "golden couple"? Can you not leave JA, X, etc. out of your obsession?You’re reall not capable of it I think. lol
Hey Guys-~~~~~~~Gosh it seems so long since i’ve been on here! Well of course i would think that because i am on here everyday!I see the pic was blurred, i hope the girl still doesn’t get in trouble from the other pic, if it got out?I am beat, yesterday was hectic! How was ya’lls?
‘Rumor Has It that the train ‘Derailed.’# 238 | mrs smith LOL…good one# 231 | Alexanderina -good morning girl friend, how are you today? busy?….the trolls are out again…LOL, but we have CB, Cliniqua, 4Q, Mrs. Smith and OC at the helms today…they are doing great so far, for me, I have a few interview for discovery this afternoon. Short and Simple, TGIF for sure… # 246 | Estelle——————-At the helms? ROTHFLMAO. Talk about delusions of grandeur.
# 249 | Another lurker Can you not leave Brad and Angelina out of your obesession that you have to come here to a Brad thread to comment about your precious chinman.
There is something called karma. I don’t feel the least sorry 4 aniston because she had it coming.
# 246 | Estelle | - Hey Estelle, I am so busy today that its not even funny, so I am just lurking most of the time. Yes, the trolls are out like crazy, but the fellow BAMZS fans you mentioned are doing great handling them. Back to work for me
IMO, When Marianne and her son Adam visited the Jolie Pitts in Namibia, that’s when the deal was sealed. Since BOTH Brad and Angie know how important this story is, the message of the story, and that she is portraying someone she knows, admires and respects, I think she is going to work her ASS off and NAIL this role. IMO, Angie is going to surprise a lot of people……….KEEP ON ROCKIN BAMZS!
# 248 | CCCC It makes you wonder if JA is loving/hating that THESE are the people praising her. How did she become this "All American Girl Next Door" poster child for these people?! We all know she wouldn’t touch a white flour crusted white sugar sweetned, pure carbo loaded, calorie tsunami sliver of mom’s apple pie even at gunpoint! jpf
# 231 | Alexanderina -good morning girl friend, how are you today? busy?….the trolls are out again…LOL, but we have CB, Cliniqua, 4Q, Mrs. Smith and OC at the helms today…they are doing great so far, for me, I have a few interview for discovery this afternoon. Short and Simple, TGIF for sure… # 246 | Estelle———————–helm - a position of leadership or control with an ORGANIZATION, COUNTRY or ENDEAVOR. Wow. You girls are taking yourselves waaay too seriously. It’s all gossip. Get a grip. Don’t y’all have jobs? lol
# 249 | Another lurker No we can’t, no we won’t, if you have a problem with it. don’t come here and read the posts. Such an eezy breezy solution to what your problem seems to be you’d think one would get it without instruction.jpf
Brad has how many houses? Angelina has how many houses? They could give much more money to the refugees or the needy here in the U.S.A. So could many more of theses rich and famous fakes. Brads not all that gr8, why did he get married and then say, two people arent meant to be together 4 ever. Then he says he wasnt dating Angelina, SHE LIES TO…oh I could never sleep with a married man..BULLSHITTIN LIARS!!
# 257 | Oh, Good Grief |It’s just a word. Don’t take it so seriously. Good Grief!!!
-A Jen Fan-1.If you mean that we like to undercover the manipulative ***** she realy is and the way she plays the media for her benefit.2. And the way she portrey her self us the "victim" and "the little hurt puppy" and she didn’t take any resposibility for her divorce and she could blame even her dog Norman for it rather her self.3.To point out how insecure and needy person she is to repeat over and over again how many friends she have.4.And because we have a mind to understand that the only thing that keeps her in the news is her endless pity party and that she once was BRAD PITT’S wife and now she is BRAD PITT’S ex-wife and this whole "bermuda triangle" that she created otherwise she would have been lost in oblivion by now.5. And the fact that she can not even carry her own succes without being linked with her so called "real life" boyfriend VV who happens to be the only reason her last movie did well if you consider that every movie she was in as the leading role they have floped("Rumor has it" "Delaired" "Friends with money")Yes,we are very intersted in her whinny ass.If she hadn’t talk so much nobody would talk about her.And if the fanistons were not here every single day to remind us her presence we couldn’t care less about that rat.
Love the Colbert Report. Just saw the first one. He’s so brave to make that statment about Angelina. Not many people are willing to stick up for her. I’m glad he stopped that interviewee dead in her tracks if she were to make any bad comments. Love his show. Smart people who get her aren’t afraid to find out what Angelina Jolie is like. Jon Stewart loves her too. Yay!
hmm ok it’s still the same shiz..tbbl
Is that Jennifer Aniston’s face there blurring out? We wouldn’t want Angelina getting jealous now would we…….lmao…..Brad and holina are flat out bad liars
Muhahaha. I’m lovin it! ChinMan’s fans are all so ticked their precious idol didn’t get the role and it went to Angelina. Lol. Aahhh. Karma- Ain’t it great. Muahahahahaha.
# 259 | tightwad ….look who’s talking?? did you do a good deed today??? if not… SHUT UP…and stop complaining about others riches or whatever…you jealous fug!!
You can reduce her life choices to PR bull, buy it want stop a thing because the woman has more class than your Jennifer Anistion loving ass ever will, and you just remember your bull_shit rant about "what you know because you hand out paper clips and deliver donuts at a PR firm" that when the movie comes out……..stay home, pop some popcorn and rent DERAILED.jpf # 247 | Original jpf ———————————Do you feel no embarrassment that I did not once mention how I feel about Jennifer Aniston OR what I do within the agency I work? And you are also an a** for assuming that because I suggested you could learn enough as an intern to garner enough basics to set you straight on some of your naive assumptions that’s what I do? Figures. Brangelinians are always trigger-happy when it comes to assumptions. O.K. If you insist, I’ll be an Aniston fan now. But I’ve long since been promoted out the intern position. Back to work for me–y’all have fun playing on JJ today. Hope no supervisors peek into your cubes.
Muhahaha. I’m lovin it! ChinMan’s fans are all so ticked their precious idol didn’t get the role and it went to Angelina. Lol. Aahhh. Karma- Ain’t it great. Muahahahahaha. # 265 | LMAO—————–Not 100% true. I’m a fan of JA but I don’t see her in this role. On the other hand, I really don’t see Jolie being very convincing either. Lara Croft or Mrs. Smith as Mariane Pearl? No. Not working for me.
MY GOD JENNIFER ANISTON IS THE VICTIM HERE. HER HUSBAND SEDUCED AND TAKEN RIGHT FROM UNDER HER NOSE. SHE WAS READY TO HAVE KIDS IN 2004 WHEN BRAD HOOKED UP WITH ANGIE…. HELL SHE CANT JUMP IN BED WITH VINCE AND JUST POP OUT A BABY IT HASNT EVEN BEEN AN OFFICIAL YEAR………ONLY WHOLINA WOULD POP A BABY OUT 9 MONTHS AFTER THERE FIST ****……..AND I DONT LIKE JENNIFER OR ANGELINA OR BRAD ANYMORE..SO KISS MY ASS…………I COULD KISS YOU ALL ANYWHERE YOUR ALL ASS..
# 268 | not entirely true Who the **** asked your opinion? Here is something that is true. Angie= 1 Oscar. Maniston= 0. None.
Oh, Good grief, you are back. Did you cancel your Elle Deco subscription? I heard they are filling for bankruptcy. LOL
