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.

Mangelina, get a grip. I think it would be a total embarrassment and utter degradation to Mariane Pearl to have Aniston play her. What a cruel thought. Please show some respect for Daniel Pearl and what he has done. Aniston has no conscience… she loves herself too much. She is somewhat sociopathic - a very egocentric individual with no empathy for others, and indeed incapable of feeling remorse or guilt.

Rob, Brad is not a sudden producer, he co- produce Troy on 2003 , and produce the hit Charlie the Chocolate factory . Do some research before you talk rather than relying on the trash from the tab.
http://www.hollywood.com/news/detail/id/3530837This is just too funny, X lives in a true world of delusion, I wish she would just go away
Angelah- thanks for update:re me again & Moi J.Channel- Thanks for the link- for Jolie-Pitts carme again & Moi J- your hardwork to get Brad news to us is TRULY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
#83, Creativegirl, thank you for the site. What an absolute beauty… she is so breathtakingly gorgeous! Wow!
# 118 | ell Thanks ell for the link. Everyone don’t forget to register to vote for your favorite design. On a shallow note Brad looks HOT in that picture. Long live the Jolie-Pitts!
# 91 Gigi–That was a very thoughtful post. Thanks for it.
Brad’s a DILF in that picture.
# 120 | lookwhaticandoHow can X expect to get any work from a man whom she publicly insulted as "sensitivity chip missing"? The harsh reality is finally setting in. Brad is GONE from her not only personally, but also professionally.
# 127 | Miss Realisticyawn….
Brad the Dad,you are HOT!!!!!!!
# 120 | lookwhaticando | - Thanks for the link, the X is crazy, she thinks that this role would garner her an Oscar, oh please, is that all she could think about getting an Oscar, she is not even thinking about the movie itself and what its all about, all she is thinking is winning a Oscar, what a selfish *****
Hi, I’m Mr. Realistic. I apologize for my wife, she’s just upset because she’s a FATSO with a yeast infection.
Hey ladies, don’t you think Brad is maturing beautifully these days? I was hoping he would take Sean Connery way than Robert Redford way, and looks like he will be up for many, many diverse rolls with this new "mature man" look of his. He could do a lot now, not just heros and leading men. Anyway, nothing like a family life to make men grow up :) Talking like a real pro :)
# 131 Mr Realistic–LMAO.
# 120 | lookwhaticando |J. Maniston had nothing to do with getting the movie rights to A Mighty Heart. Brad was the one making the deals for Plan B while Chin was getting a Mystic tan. If haters would read past interviews of Mariane Pearl’s she only talks about meeting with Brad and how he was the only one, of the many producers, to have read the book. J. Maniston is delusional and… she has skin like beef jerky.
#46, Moi Jade, thanks for the clip… those two were meant to hook up.
I just watched Charlie Rose’s interview with Warren Buffett, and the Gateses. Melinda Gates was a pleasure to listen to, just like AJ. She comes adcro
# 131 | Mr. Realistic | - LMAO
Hi, I’m Mr. Realistic. I apologize for my wife, she’s just upset because she’s a FATSO with a yeast infection.# 131 | Mr. RealisticROTFLMAO
# 90 | briseis I agree with you, Brad & Angie are so strong!!!God bless them!
#136 oops, I hit Post by mistake. Anyway I was going to say MGates came across as intelligent, articulate, sensible, informed and compassionate. If I were a man, I would pick that kind of woman to be my partner in life, instead of some boring cute face, no brain. I am disappointed that BP married X in the first place. I hope VV takes a lesson from BP’s mistake.
# 132 be sane–He looks wonderful. A sexy dad. No longer Ken-doll arm candy for the X.
