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.

Krishna is FAT, UGLY, POOR that’s why she’s so bitter. She’s just another anonymous loser on the internet who no one knows or cares about. Go kill yourself *****
Ok, I agree that Brad and Angelina (or Brangelina) are on trial separation. It is reported all over the place. But anybody separates, though they have 10 or 20 kids. And this is Hollywood people, just get a fucken clue! I like Brad being the Humanitarian Designer who is sort of out there for US victims in stead of adopting Asian and African kids like Angelina. But I heard they will adopt another kid soon, is it true? Or is it the reason for the breakup? Angelina wants to adopt like 10 kids, and Brad wants her to be pregnant again which she doesn’t like - but hey, it is Brangelina’s business…. # 1850 | Rob | July 17, 2006 06:44ROB is a LIAR. Here is what Brad says about his kids when he was interviewed by NEWSWEEK, a reputable magazine … he was actually chosen as one of the persons who make America great.Fatherhood, he says, helped accelerate his activism. Not long before Shiloh was born, Pitt adopted Jolie’s son, Maddox, whom she originally adopted from Cambodia, and her daughter Zahara, whom she adopted last summer from Ethiopia. "I look at [Zahara] and imagine what her life could have been," he says. "You want to grab as many of these kids in your arms as you can. They need our help, and we should be doing more." Rob is a liar or that he is so dumb he cannot comprehend what Brad says. Brad plans to adopt more.

X’s PR machine recognizes that blogs may influence opinions. They are here for two main reasons: counter any bad opinions about X and aggressively attack B/A through insults and lies.
gee jen you even go by the name of rob….still up because vince left to **** someone else….jen i have flagged 2 of your posting and i may do the same again with the last one you posted if you don’t stop posting your negativity here
# 1782 | lurpac |I believe it is generally assumed they acted that way whenever they saw the razzis.# 1791 | Bulletproof |Fabulous assessment - worthy of our dear Elena.# 1833 | sara The only problem with that "theory" is that O13 is shooting ALL in LA, NOT LV!I have NO idea what all that crap above me is supposed to mean. Brad and Angie split after 25 YEARS??? Is this a futuregram? I find the name "Krishna" an interesting one for someone filled with so much hate. I’d be worrying about Karma myself with all that hate festering.
Who heard exactly what Brad just said in the preview clip they showed on the Today show? Matt Lauer said BP will talk about Katrina and the joys of fatherhood and Brad said "I’m just so happy" what was the context because I was in the other room and didn’t see it but heard it?
PR…tell me about it, what a joke. i swear i have not gone over to her thread and started ranting, cos i have not extra thought for her, she repluses me, quite frankly. what makes you laugh is that they thing this approach is going to work, more than anything it pushes the bamzs fans to appreciate bamzs more so. i really wouldnt be surprised if X was no here you know, i really wouldnt! thats why the pity party on a constant run, she comes shouts and gets knocked to the ground! lol nasty cycle for her to live in! SAD!
oh my…ok now im very jealous! please people do tell! i really hope that is comes on MSNBC! sometimes i hate being in the UK!
It’s coming up next after these commercials. He looks sooooo good.

Awwww…They’re running the second part of the interview tomorrow. Ann said there was a change in him and he said being a parent changes anything. That it’s the best, most extrodinary thing he’s ever done. Ann said Angie says that….and he said it’s a profound love and that is he "can get a burp out of that little thing" it’s the best. He’s beaming.

# 1868 | CCCCLucky you, not me I did not see it. will try tomorrow .Gone to work..
I just saw brad on Today, and I’l tell you I’m just grinning from ear to ear right now. The was he talks abput his children, how his face just lights up, it’s infectious. He’s truly where he wants to be and deeply content within himself.
here is the transcript for todays interview, man i cant wait to read more tomorrow.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13893602/
Opps… TO # 1737 Nicole It goes to you too- get out to your backyard - this time use a garden rake- be sure wear gloves - keep raking… rake… rake…. rake… what a relief….your anger with Brad P is gone temporarily… you need to keep doing it when you feel that anger….okay ? Sorry to tell you.. your trashy comments will not change my love with Brad. P.
i saw the Brad Pitt interview on the Today show:1. It was great to see Brad but still unsettling to see what NO still looks like today2. Brad gave a great interview about what he’s seen there and what his involvement is/will be3. When talking about his kids, his legs got all jittery and you could tell he was trying to contain a big goofy smile — he is definitely ecstatic about being a father!On another note: I’ve read two posts over the past several threads where pro-BAMZS posters in their defense of the family, I guess, mention something about "if Brad does go back to Jen…" WTF is that??!!!! Can’t we all agree that THAT is not going to happen. I mean c’mon, the man has moved on!! I think it’s great to defend the family against the pro-Jen Nazi brigade, but I wouldn’t be throwing them that bone as they will sink their gingivits fangs into it and will NEVER let that sh*t go. You know what I’m sayin’?
1844 Krishna Shut up !! You need ECT and calm down.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS THAT BRANGELINA ARE SEPARATING AFTER 25 YEARS TOGETHER. :) :) :) THAT IS THE COOLEST ARTICLE I HAVE EVER READ :) :)
