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.

To CLEAR UP A FEW THINGS:Much like the recent ‘Aniston says Brad Pitt is gay,’ story, the ‘Aniston is Critical of the UN and Supports Nominee Bolton’ story from last year, is COMPLETE SATIRE PEOPLE!!! My GOD…the hilarity of it just jumps off the page. I don’t don’t if, LIKE the ‘Aniston calls Brad Pitt Gay,’ the UN fiction was ALSO on PUG BUS, but it WAS INDEED SATIRE. LOLOL. I mean come on…Aniston discussing the UN. In someone’s recently posted Vogue interview of hers from a couple years back on the Marianne Pearl thing, she is lamenting not knowing ANYTHING AT ALL about CURRENT EVENTS…yet you’re gonna believe that work of fiction. See, please guys, try and source these articles so it ill be plain to people what we’re dealing with. Insanely enough, a couple other websites calling themselves news & information outlets picked up the PUB BUS satire about Aniston calling Pitt gay, and actually ran it, as if SHE ACTUALLY SAID IT!! Insanity. LOL
Good Night to my fellow BAMZS fans, tomorrow is the big day Daddy Brad interview, oh I can’t wait. Talk to you all later
# 1814 | CLINIQUA …..lol…ITA…..if you google brad and angie…..most of the articles are from NE and PC and some are from entertainment news of semi-respected news agency and then BOSH or some satire blog sites…..haters really are stupid esp. if they read articles that have negative news about the BAMZS….they believe it…..simple minded all of them like their idol….

Sources say that Aniston is critical of Jolie for lending her high-profile name to a corrupt institution.HOLLYWOOD, CA—While the early word was that Jennifer Aniston was finally breaking her silence about ex-hubby Brad Pitt’s infidelities in a forthcoming Vanity Fair exclusive, sources close to the magazine have since denied that account. But that doesn’t mean that the interview won’t be revealing.According to several Hollywood insiders, Aniston uses the forum to let loose on rival actress Angelina Jolie. While Tinsel Town has been abuzz for months with talk that the stars of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are more than just friends, Aniston’s saves her fire for a different issue: Jolie’s connections with the United Nations, an institution Aniston views as thoroughly corrupt and desperately in need of reform.No goodwill for UN—or its ambassador"As far as she’s concerned, the UN basically stood in the way of the US when we needed to defend ourselves," says a source close to the actress. "She also thinks that by associating herself with the UN Angelina is putting a pretty face on the oil-for-food scandal."Angelina Jolie became the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in 2001 after a trip to the African nation of Sierra Leone. Since accepting the position, the Academy Award winning actress has traveled to countries including Ecuador, Cambodia, and Tanzania in an effort to bring attention to the plight of refugees.Paying her duesIn recent weeks, the two high-profile actresses have found themselves in the center of a nasty split over the future of the United Nations. Jolie thinks that the institution provides an invaluable service, and backs a proposal to add new permanent members to the UN Security Council. Aniston rejects that proposal and supports a Congressional bill that would withhold US dues to the UN—including financial support for peacekeeping operations—until the institution gets its house in order.Reports that "Plan B," the film production company, jointly owned by Aniston and Brad Pitt, is at work on a tell-all documentary about Kojo Annan, the son of UN chief Kofi Annan, could not be confirmed at press time. A plug for BoltonAniston also reportedly uses the Vanity Fair interview to put in a plug for President Bush’s embattled nominee to the UN, John Bolton. The actress allegedly tells Mr. Bolton to ‘hang in there’ and not let ‘all the negativity’ get him down."She knows what it’s like to be the focus of a smear campaign," says a friend of the actress, "to have the media spotlight shined on you everyday. She thinks that he would bring a fresh air to an institution that is definitely in need of a shake up, but she can also just really relate to what he’s going through." # 1724 | Any Thoughts?June 20, 2005Aniston to Vanity Fair: No Goodwill for UN Ambassador JolieHollywood golden girl Jennifer Aniston may not be spilling the beans about ex-hubby Brad Pitt’s alleged infidelities in a forthcoming interview with Vanity Fair magazine, but the actress apparently has plenty to say about UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie.

Jamma, could your pls add Somalia to the list.You wouldn’t believe that war turn country would even know about Aj/bp…my causins love them..
Cliniqua #1814: Verry funny! I guess the Maniston fans cannot distinguish a satire from truth or what a tabloid trash. All they know, as long as it is a negative reports about Brad & Angelina, it is a fact. I am thinking already these fucked-up people are crazies. I won’t be surprise if one day they will physically attack people that do not agree with thier ideology. Scary I must say. I know we make fun of the Skankiston but I repeat we will not go far as to hurt anyone. We know better. We have a life too, but if time permits we manage to put our extra time in this thread or any news about BAMZS. But "them" they have to prove a lot especially from polls. As if the hello Magazine will get Aniston somewhere…bleh…they won’t evne hand awards or trophy for this poll. It was made for fun. But well they have to prove their idol is being loved everywhere.
# 1817 | Yes, a thought …**** another stupid faniston…..didn’t you read the whole article and where did it come from???…never mind…pea brain!!
Thanks for the responses to my question.#1784 to Lurpac — I had heard that explanation before - but I find it amazing that they would even bother to go on the vacation in the first place and then spend time together - probably something more to it than meets the eye.#1791 jpf — I will check out #1430 thanks#1793 — do you really think that they didn’t have an equal relationship? I know that she dressed him so I always thought she was the stronger one - I haven’t read enough to form a satisfactory opinion - but on that beach they looked so happy and friendly - very weird. Thanks for your thoughts on the situation.
I think…that you shouldn’t come here hoping for an intelligent debate. This place is just another sinkhole for fanfiction ;)
#1430 jpf — lots of info in that post, thanks –makes a bit more sense to me now - joint decision to split - both happy about decision - they probably tried to stay above the garbage and continue to be friends but things took on a life of their own in the tabloids at any rate.

#1825 Maybe — promises broken — you have my interest - what do you know?
we manage to put our extra time in this thread or any news about BAMZS. But "them" they have to prove a lot especially from polls. As if the hello Magazine will get Aniston somewhere…bleh…they won’t evne hand awards or trophy for this poll. It was made for fun. But well they have to prove their idol is being loved everywhere. # 1819 | ANISTON THE HAG——————Please re-read your thread and count the number of times that JJ regulars have encouraged others to vote. In a poll not FOR angelina… but against aniston? And does your hate filled handle not also tell some of your story? It somehow seems very wrong to me to pretend to be better than other haters. Haters are haters everywhere, are they not?
Ariel….as far as botohan….yep…i did vote…lol….i don’t want her to win this poll even if it is rigged…lol # 1807 | jjoy ———————-right on through 19 pages…. you spend your time on news of BAMZ ? Seems to some, #1819, that you spend just as much time hating and obsessing about Jennifer Aniston. Good night.
Brad/Angie rumour controlThere is no trial separation. Things are fine, for now. So rest easy you “Brangelina” fans out there - despite what you’ve heard from an Australian lower tier tabloid, the Pitts are still very much together, tending to their growing brood. The split reports originated when details of Brad’s trip to New Orleans were announced with no mention of Angelina Jolie. Naturally, a few overzealous gossips interpreted Angie’s absence to problems in the relationship, erroneously speculating that the world’s most notorious maneater has grown tired of her most recent conquest. Fortunately – or unfortunately, depending on which way you look at it – Angie’s made no such judgement. In fact, even though she did not accompany him on this recent humanitarian gig, I’m told that she considered it part of their ongoing collective efforts, that they intend to be regarded as a “team” going forward, professionally, personally, and philanthropically. So here’s Brad, arriving back in LA, readying for a reunion with his family, looking increasingly haggard and old. Which means his days on the Freebie 5 numbered. Yes, gossips. Brad is being replaced. But more on that later.
