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.

# 72 | X Factor /73 | St John’s gone /# 75 | ROB You guys tend to come out everytime there was good news for Brad and Angie. stop your delusion and jealousy. Maniston told her 5 good friends which later reported to Star, in touch, Us weekly. …every tab. she enjoy the BANGING of Vince soooooo much, she even enjoy her SEX WITH VINCE more than Brad, That means Maniston had move on for a long, long time. Please stop pitying her, you all make her skin scrawl!!!!!!!!!
73 | St John’s gone / # 72 | X Factor 75 | ROB OMG, Chinnifer fanatics are much scarier and toxic than the Al Geda of Bin Laden. Hey guys, Bin laden are running out of army, one of his "general" was just killed in Irag 3 weeks ago. join him and this could releived your anger and hatred.
To those people who pity JA because supposedly AJ stole the role from her, there was no freaking way Mariane Pearl was going to approve JA taking on her role in the movie. LOL. Those entertainment people who poop-poo AJ because of this is mad if they think JA was ever going to play this part. It just goes to show their idiocy. Freaking nitwits.
What a great picture of him. That’s a happy guy.
Even JA admitted a while back when she was still part of Plan B that she is not quite sure that she could do the role of Mariane Pearl. If even she is not sure, why are these entertainment people so heckbent on maligning Angie, saying she stole the role from JA? What is it about them and that favorite word in association with Ange - STOLE, as in "she stole Brad" and "she stole the sure-fire Oscar role" from JA? Sheesh, I am just thankful that Angie and Brad are strong people, and secure in their love for each other. I know I would have broken down by now with all these horrible, untrue accusations against them.
To the Real Tita,Your admiration for George Bush, who violated international and domestic human rights law and Ann Coulter, who is an admirer of Hitler, never ceased to amaze me. I have watched your post all the time (I actually know almost everyone here by being a lurker for months – as part of my research book). And you, the Real Tita is the epitome of pure “ignorance” and “idiocy”. You have no business questioning someone who is way smarter than you (Original Curious) about her/his morals. Its such a validation to finally show the cyber-world that you admire murderers and corrupt leaders who have no regard for human dignity. Not to mention that you admire Hitler’s follower of the 21st century. Bravo to you!!!Don’t even try to respond in attacking me or my position, because your limited knowledge of world views, shows your lack of thinking ability to process between propaganda, rumor mongering, gossips and the truth. You obviously have not traveled around the world and witness more devastation and sufferings of people that brought about by unwarranted war in Iraq. Not to mention the victims of this country: the increase of poverty, the tremendous decline of education, the increase of unemployment and homelessness, as a result of having an incompetent president. Trust me, you are out of your league to even make a debate in this matter. Just because you claimed that you read, it doesn’t mean that what you read is true which shows that you only read but doesn’t think… I just want to point out your ignorance, not only it is laughable but disturbing as well….As a regular lurker, I feel compelled to respond to your ridiculous notions. Just on the side note, I truly admire the honesty of those who shared their personal stories – you are the true everyday heroes of our society. And of course, to Passing Through, who never failed to make me laugh everyday….thanks to all.
wow, what a busy mama! I figured she would take more time off, but at least she has a history of taking her kids to work with her and not being away from them for too long. I hope she can pump for Shiloh and keep those busy toddlers busy and close to her too.
It is yet again a chain of sad postings from little kids confirming to all of us how bad Jen is and How we should worship Brad and Angelina since they are so sexy & hot. Shall we drink them with what, water? :) I figured Just Jared is some kind of Brad Pitt media machine so they are doing their ‘job.’ - just a bunch of retards.
Good morning "Me Again" (#2730)… no apologies required, it was so sweet and thoughtful of you in the first place to let us in and we all enjoyed the ride… you made our day. Hope that your day today is a better one and we shall speak with you later. You will have a better day today… it is Friday.
Good morning all, it is such a beautiful day and Friday to boot. Well, I am very disheartened by some of the tabloids and so-called entertainment news reporters who seem to have no clue on anything and should be sued for defamation of character. Anyway, I am hoping that Brad will put to rest a few misconceptions when he speaks with Ann Curry on Monday, and I think he will - albeit it will be a slow process but the truth will be known. Have a good day all.
Frency, is it the August edition of W mag… I looked for it this morn and did find it? Many thanks,
This is sooo cool, Ang and Brad bring out the best in each other.

COLD HARD MATH & ALEROThanks for the picture of the Pearl & Brad P .
Deranged Aniston fans are SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORS.This has been one of their biggest dissapointments. Jen Aniston NO LONGER HAS THE PERKS that came with Brad Pitt’s clout in the MOVIE industry. This is the harsh reality–Brad is now with an OSCAR winning actress, and of course he will bring Jolie jobs when he sees fit. For MAMS he said he wanted to cast an EQUAL partner. Obviously his then TV actress wife wasn’t even in the picture. I’m sure it burned her ego.Fortunately Aniston came down to face the reality–Brad Pitt was a bit over-reaching. She said recently she now wants an "EQUAL" person. Funny TV woman with Funny comedian man is perfect. It’s the fans who can’t see the truth and keep making her their victim.
Rob, see that CAPS LOCK key on you far left? Hit it.You keep talking about what a snotty ***** and snotty ass Brad is–I think you have a crush on him.
100 | ROB Please take your Prozac. and calm down.
# 106ROB is obviously not a guy. Rob is a 15-16 year old little girl in desperate need of Proactiv. No self respecting guy would post the lame crap she does.
Brad Pitt makes more money in 1 day then ROB will make in his entire life. You suck at life ROB, go kill yourself.
ROB —shut up
Note to ROB.This is what I do when I see a post like yours in all caps….I ignore it. I have no idea what you wrote, but going by the responses, seems like your a looney bin.
It’s the difference between a Mercedes SL600 and a donkey that fell in the mud. # 10 | Maniston | ===============================LOLOLOL,, Mainiston, that was priceless..
Ladies, we need to page FF — their stray kitten "ROB" needs to get back into their sewer.
