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.

I just saw the Interview with Brad Pitt. He sounded very informed about the subject. He was also trying to compose his obvious exitement when AC asked him about his children. He said that he has done many things in life and has been very fortunate but being a father was the most extraordinary thing his ever taken on and that he feels very fufilled and that he wants to be there every minute for them for whatever they may need and is afraid of missing any thing in their lives…… GOD BLESS HIM He looks and sounds very content and at peace.
here is the transcript for todays interview, man i cant wait to read more tomorrow.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13893602/ # 1873 | stef===============Thanks Stef. Man, I can’t wait for the video. This is one of the few occassions when I wish I am living in the good old USA.
Tnx Stef…ditto buddy, ditto!!!!!!!
Brad is a father and he is happy. Period. Now it is time for him to just get out of our sight because we are very sick of him talking about kids and kids and kids - as if he is the only father in the entire world. Go take a shower mate, you just make me want to puke.

Pitt: Best thing I ever did. You know, you can write a book, you can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever taken on. And, man, if I can get a burp out of that, that little thing, I’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment.______________So contend and a happy Brad. good revenge to the naysayers and hater. Brad rock !

Brad is a changed man,for good.Fatherhood is a blessing .He is happy, has a loving family at home and a fantastic movie career.This is the life he has been longing for.Thanks to AJ that dream came thru.More power to his NO project.His commitmentto rebuilding this city is commendable. HW should take note. Please give Brad a helping hand.He can not do it alone. Give up the lavish parties, expensive clothes and the wild life with abuses. Lend your support . You’ ll feel better!!!!
This is Krishna, and am glad you all read my posts and agree with them (or not agree like those of you who are between 10 and 11 years of age :) I still stand by my comment though so just to let you know, Brad needs to take a shower and stop being sooo self-serving. But well, he is too old now and changing at this age is just not possible. I will see the TV programme on his newly found humanitarian and his family and kids and his sexy partner - I definitely will. I will give him some tips after that - more tips. Like how to not sound like a retarded 40-something.Krishna

Jen must be gnashing her teeth in total regret and anger of losing the GOOD MAN.
# 1882 | Jojo Brad is here forever, if you don’t want to see him then get lose. this is a Brad thread, why wasting your time whinning here ? nobody give a shxt on you !
the haters seem a little pissed this morining. JOJO…..Brad has never gone on tv and talked about kids before.. The best revenge is that people, media, aniston and her friends said all this **** about him and Brad is the happiest man in the world. He got his kids no matter what else happens in this world , he will always have the love of his children. The best thing he ever did.
I loved Brad’s interview this morning! He seemed so calm and relaxed. How can anyone doubt that this man needed a purpose and direction in his life that he just wasn’t getting from being a movie star. Brad said he’s glad not to focus on himself anymore, this man desperately needed a family, too. I will love this man forever, he has always had a beautiful heart and a beautiful soul, count me as a fan for life.
Brad says:Best thing I ever did. You know, you can write a book, you can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever taken on. And, man, if I can get a burp out of that, that little thing, I’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment.
Krishna is bitter. Why? Because if Krishna doesn’t shower he/she can’t get a date. Yet if Brad doesn’t shower he can still have any woman he wants. Poor Krishna.
1837 /1838 In case Brad and They will still be sharing their life wtih their children, they still be cherished, love, taken care by their children. Have you ever think after 25yrs , where is Chinnifer, probably lonely and ugly living at certain nursing home alone still whinning at the lost of Brad.
Jojo: "Now it is time for him to just get out of our sight because we are very sick of him talking about kids and kids and kids - as if he is the only father in the entire world."Who is we? You and the voices in your head? And if you want him our of your sight, then TURN THE CHANEL moron, or is that too hard for you? Id that too much exercise fatty?JoJo: "Go take a shower mate, you just make me want to puke."Go eat a bullet JoJo, you make ME want to puke
I think that X fans should be happy that she divorced Brad. He is talking about giving back to communities and children and X is talking about margeritas and having best and loyal friends around her. good riddance that man could have only brought her down.
Anyone noticed that everytime the haters come, they all come together. Comments agreeing with one another. Very suspicious. And Krishna, we are not 11 or 12 years old. Lastly, Krishna I’ll take Brad anytime showered or not. maybe you smell like a perfumed hag but I’ll pass. You got nothing to offer. Aint’ life a *****!
# 1837 /1838 Whatever happen to Brad and Angie after 25 yrs ?nobody knows, But I’m sure they will be sharing their love with their grown children and grandchildren. and Chinnifer lonely, haggard living alone in the nursing home still regreting why did she divorce Brad. (but I wonder does she have another 25 yrs, she ’s a chronic smoker and chronic margarita (alcohol) lover = shorter life span)
Brad survived HW for almost 2 decades now.Your tips should be directed to someone else who needed them most. Like someone who has no talent,beauty and cloutless in HW.Hurry up!! That someone needs your helpful tips,not BRAD PITT.
# 1530 | cycloneblondie This of course was posted by PI, in reference to my post at # 1314, which is now missing! Someone has seriously got a “mental disease” here!ATTENTION PI! Were you offended by my post earlier???Hi CB, I’m sorry your post to Estelle got deleted, but I am in no way offended by it nor did i report it. If anyone is bonkers here, it’s not me, (times i go fuming mad and have to physically restrain myself from countering with graphic posts to what death wishing haters not counted). Someone obviously got keyboard happy and zoomed in your posts lol. But dear CB it is not I. How could I? I love your crazy posts.
Just saw Bard’s interview with Ann Curry and, like Lynn Campbell above, just fell even more madely in love with him. He really tries to tone down his movie star appearance by wearing a neutral color blazer, and just focusing on the issue at hand, which is the devastation left by the hurricane and the non-action almost a year later, and what he is trying to do to help out. Man, I just HEART you even more, BRAD. Thanks to Angie for bringing out this side of you. The desire to help has always been there, but Angie and the kids served as the catalyst to bring it out and actually do something.
WHATEVER!!! NOW GO & SCRAM!
This one the things i love about this man.Curry: Wonderful.Pitt: Best thing I ever did. You know, you can write a book, you can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever taken on. And, man, if I can get a burp out of that, that little thing, I’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment.^^^how cute brad is?^^^Realy the hater are getting So Boring.BRAD IS HAPPY! DEAL WITH IT.
