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.

Was it George Clooney who had a tv ad a while ago about:"I am not a doctor but I play one on tv"? The same thing can be said of X:"I am not a sweetheart, but I played one for 10 years on tv". Same thing with Oscar nominated actors like Joachin Phoenix playing a mean man in Gladiator. He was so convincing, I kept having to remind myself not to hate him, he was just playing a role. Same for Gong Li in Memoirs of a geisha, and for all other good actors, including AJ.

173 | yan You may become a happier person if you’d just drop this hateful obsession. ________Same for those hater of Brad and Angie, drop all those hate and become a happier man.
You spend a lot of time on someone you don’t like. Angie is an Oscar winner and an international star, a humanitarian, a UN ambassador and a mother of three just at a young age of 31. So many positives and she’s still going strong. You should draw inspiration from this woman, your own life might be better, or in Angie’s word, find a purpose for your life.
# 185 | to#152 |Amen to that gal!!!Cheers ":)
176 | Stella Sorry to burst your bubble , most people here have a decent job. I ‘m a working mom with highly paid job. lurk this blog after a hard day of work, enjoy every intelligent post on this site except some nasty, self-righteous, idiot haters. I love Brad and Angie , and can’t stand people bashing them just like you can’t stand people crticizing your idol.
Was it George Clooney who had a tv ad a while ago about:"I am not a doctor but I play one on tv"? The same thing can be said of X:"I am not a sweetheart, but I played one for 10 years on tv". # 170 | ntt ==============================ITA, X is Soooooo not a real life sweetheart it aint even funny. And I also agree, sometimes people can be such good actors in roles that you try not to hate them in real life. I am almost ashame to say I did not like Matt Damon for the longest, I just thought he done such a good job in School Ties, as a raciest jerk, I almost believed he was that way in real life. Now he is one of my fav. actors,
Why are you so obsessed with Jennifer Aniston? She’s living her own life, as Brad is. You may become a happier person if you’d just drop this hateful obsession. # 173 | yan ==========================Yes I admitt I do hate X, It is hard not to.. but obessed, naw, maybe obessed with the fact that I want her to go to hell, or at least Mars. But why are you obessed with protecting your falling very fast idol. huh?
# 188 | DeeDee | BLAA, BLAA, BLAA…. u people kill me…. Since Brad is such an aweful man, isn’t it great that X is no long with him….
# 176 | Stella |========================Oh Rob? just go away already, Why don’t you go drive by your X-husbands, and his new Hotties New House and Cry some more.. lololol
Stella, calm down. Life is good when you do what you like (including posting on this blog). It’s only bad when you come on here, but are unhappy about it, like you are. # 180 | ntt ===================LOL, ITA, Poor poor thing Stella is
174 | I see that We can’t fight aging. even with tanning and botox. Brad knew that too, While promoting Troy, he had said acting is for the youger one, and he probably had another 3-4 years to go. thatswhy, he is venturing to producing film.
#93: whatever
# 188 | DeeDee—————X is a home-wrecker. She wrecked her own home by giving to her partying with her girlfriends than be at home with Brad.
