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.

1618 | Alexanderina I wonder if the article is true, she drop her tears again after mentioning Brad, she actually is a good actress, isn’t it ? As a respect to Vince, which she is ******* since last year, she should stop mentioning her X name. Oh, I really hate this btich.
the site address where that paragraph comes from is : http://www.joopdog.com/A_List.htmit’s not working for me. anyway, the site is a highly libelous and character damaging site outing celebrities and accusing many of doing drugs, raping and beating people, etc. i wouldn’t be surprised if the site was finally shut down. but our friend nicole actually got the paragraph from, yep, you guessed it — da, da, da, dum!!! — FemaleFirst. So ridiculous…
Hey jjoy/Missouri fan…jjoy I saw that Bulletproof is really pestering you lately. Just ignore him/her. Bumoto ka na ba sa poll ng Hello Mag? Ayoko kasing manalo ang X, kasi sa December ang susunod na botohan para sa taon ng 2006. Ate Cha, We suppose to be seeing Pirate of the Carribbean earlier but my sister is waiting for my niece to call home since my niece left for Spanish Immersion Class in Mexico this morning. She did not phone until late evening so we missed the movie. Oh well, better luck next weekend. jjoy/Ate Cha…are you watching the Anne Curry’s interview with Brad Pitt? I will miss it. I’ll be working early tomorrow. I will try to tape it but my VCR is so temperamental sometimes it does not work properly. Let us know how the interview goes if you both happen to watch it. Thanks/Salamat
This article was written as a presumption to what they wanted Aniston to say in the VF article, but the VF article has already been out and there is no such thing there. Aniston herself said she knows nothing about world issues, that should have been the red flag right there. These kinds of articles are the ones that BAMZS fans refer to, they are made up lies to attack Angie. Angie has responded to the U.N. attack (not from this fake ‘Aniston said to her friend’ article) when she was on Anderson Cooper’s show. She said that there are many things that the U.N. does and they use limited money to address a number of issues. To limit the U.N. to the corruption issues will not be a fair assessment. Angie donates her money for her U.N. causes, they don’t pay her. So the article was written to stir the pot and create an artificial show down between Angie and Aniston. Plan B does not have any project that they talked about to my knowledge.
Okay — here is a question - now don’t get huffy and jump all over me — this is not a question of negativity — it is just me wanting to know something I don’t understand. When B and J were spliting - before they announced the official split they went on a vacation with Cortney Cox and family somewhere - as you see I am not up on all the details so please ignore my ignorance — anyway, they were seen holding hands and smooching on the beach - I think it was Jan 2005 and then when they got back they announced the split —- so what was that all about? Anyone know what was going on? Please no nasties - I am just curious it has always seemed strange that they could be so lovey dovey but getting ready to split.
Didn’t maniston date some creepy guy named adam duritz. Also, is the same guy who date C.Cox and then later maniston. These two do share everything huh? Lol.
# 1768 | The real lou Sorry i wasn’t talking about the same article who was a satire;++++++++++++++++++++++Frenchy, SA OU FE ?TCHIMBE RAID PA MOLLITchao DOUDOU
# 1780 | +++ | - Yes it true alright, she is going to be on tomorrow with Richard & Judy, Channel 4 in England, they host a Talk Show, apparently they are suppose to be big in England. I don’t mind if the ***** talk all she wants, all I want her to do is not talk about Brad and Angelina.
and one more thing: Jen is intelligent too. Thanks for posting that information. # 1754 | Jen is good!!! | Yeah, I always think she is not dumb, she is smart, very calculative and manipulative *****.
# 1779 | trini gurl | - Hey trini girl, whats going?
# 1784 | lurpac The vacation was suppossed to be planned before and I think they used this time to write up the details of the divorce. It was reported that they only started to act lovey-dovery as soon as they saw that the Papparazzie were taking pictures. So you see, nothing is as it appears to be. One can only guess how many times they acted all in love because it was genuine or because they saw an photographer.
# 1784 | lurpac Refering you to post #1430….maybe it may help you. jpf
# 1789 | AlexanderinaJust reading all the posts…lol.. I really love all the BAMZS fans..nevermind the haters BAMZS 4ever!
# 1784 | lurpacWell glad you asked. I never read anything about this but I have my own theory. To me, the relationship between Brad and Jennifer was similar to that of a parent and a child, Aniston being the child and Brad being the parent who was protective of her and in general leading the way. There is always the stronger personality and the weaker in any relationship. In this type of relationship "the child" trusts "the parent" and agrees with them on everything minimizing their own decision making capability. Of course the parent will never want to hurt the child and will act lovingly till the end. And thats how Anguilla happened. The parent partner eventually will want an equal partner unless the child partner matures and the roles in the relationship balance each other out. When that doesnt happen, the split is inevitable. And so it happened here. It would happen sooner or later, with Angelina or without her. The problem there was inherent in the kind of relationship Aniston and Pitt had, not in Angelina coming into the picture. Angelina and Pitt are equal partners and that’s the reason they are perfect for each other. Their relationship has a perfect balance, although I hear some doubt it.
All of Brad’s ******* are mad at him! (((((((((FANFIC ALERT!!))))))))))The house that Brad built
BAMZS 4ever! # 1792 | trini gurl |————————————————–Ditto
First of all, your Brad Pitt is nothing but a chickenhead. Hygienically challenged. Hard to work with; was horrible on the set of Devil’s Own and did not get along with Harrison Ford. Used to wear a chicken suit for El Pollo Loco. Reportedly broke up with Gwyneth Paltrow over her refusal to service him orally. Reported heavy drug use. Plays both sides of the field (he’s gay). Has herpes. Has wandering eyes (and other body parts). Was arrested in 1989 for exposing himself to drivers in Malibu. And hooked up with Juliette Lewis while she was only 16.# 1737 | NicoleWhoa. I used to think Brad just fell under Jolie’s spell, but it’s starting to sound like they are perfect for each other.
Aniston to Vanity Fair: No Goodwill for UN Ambassador JolieThe infamous Aniston’s VF article does not have politics just tears and regrets about Brad. The article is a made up lie. They are not talking tanning, yoga and hair, duh!
We love Brad Pitt to pieces, depite all your rantings. Now run off and go to bed, it’s past your bedtime.
Aniston did not levy a political stance in Vanity Fair. OMG are you crazy? She is not even informed enough to wait tables at the UN delegates meetings. For the most part, I can imagine filmmakers using a cardboard cut out of JA, moving it around with her characters, pretending with a concern plastered on her face as she always has in her movies. So fitting; the actress and the person.
# 1794 | Malibumom | - I love it, I still can’t stop laughing, great job, can’t wait for the next update lol
Jen is cardboard! How can she levy opinions about the UN?! Has her handle come undone? Jen is not real… she belongs in the stands with the rest of the cardboard audience extras.
