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.

BRAD IS HAPPY.!!!! Great news to start a week.This guy deserves a blissful life. AJ and the kidsare certainly in good hands.
I can’t let JOJO get the last word. Your negativity and smart a** remarks are tired and laughable. Thank God there’s a new thread!!!
BEFORE I WORSHIP BRADLEY THOUGH, I CAN’T HELP BUT TELL HIM TO GET LOST AND TAKE CARE OF HIS ADOPTED + BIOLOGICAL KIDS.—that is exactly what is he doing now—HE JUST SHOULD NOT ANNOUNCE IT ON THE NATIONAL TV THAT HE IS HAPPY & ALL THAT CRAP. WHO CARES ABOUT HIS HAPPINESS? I—-who ceres is you, don’t you like he is happy now with Angelina —-WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO TO TV AND TELL THE NEWSCASTER THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND ALL THAT **** IN THE FIRST PLACE Brad only want you ass******** to know he is happy , and he don’t think about X anymore
JOJO,>>if you hate brad, don’t talk about him.DON’T GET ME WRONG, I AM HAPPY FOR HIM, THAT HE HAS 3 KIDS IN A YEAR. HE JUST SHOULD NOT ANNOUNCE IT ON THE NATIONAL TV THAT HE IS HAPPY & ALL THAT CRAP. WHO CARES ABOUT HIS HAPPINESS? I MEAN, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO TO TV AND TELL THE NEWSCASTER THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND ALL THAT **** IN THE FIRST PLACE - IF YOU ARE WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE SOME KIND OF PRIVATE BUSINESS WHO WENT HIDING TO AFRICA! I THOUGHT HE WANTED PRIVACY, AND WELL, THIS GUY IS TOTALLY NOT WHAT HE IS SAYING HE IS. THAT IS ALL I WANT TO SAY.Jealousy should your calling card….when brad is with angie he is ***** whipped and when he does his own things, their speared. HA HA.. Your haters are F*ing losers. Jealousy should your calling card….and if you don’t like why sit through the whole interview, now do US a favour and go take a shower, because you smell like your ****, did you come out chin chin’s A hole for a break. After all that’s where chin chin’s fan’s do their WORSHIPING.
I saw the interview, and despite the fact that he looks weird (talks a bit half heartedly as usual), I am happy for him that he thinks he is happy. Brad thinks highly of his kids and his life which is nice. But that does not make him a different person than he really is. He will always be this Brad we all know - self serving, and selfish but appearing to be mature & low profile. In short, he is a lie with a flesh. Oh he seems to take things from his kids and wants happiness from them but who can tellhim that actually he is the one who should give them one??? Talk about a retarded and stubbord ass. It is not up to him to get something from them. He sounds a bit selfish in this respect. In general, am glad he reached the happiness and success level he always dreamed about at this age though a bit old but he did it! He should enjoy it and not screw up once again. He is the happiest person in the entire world because of his and Ange’s kids. Good for them. Now, it is time to change the channel and serve Katrina victims and send money to Africa.
Krishna and Jojo and all others with crazy names take Prozac please…
This so Predictable.AJ’s interviews with Ane Curry shows how content she is with her Family, the Fanistons get angry, their hate intensifies.AJ’s interview with Anderson Cooper shows the family is still going strong, the Fansitons see red. The console themselves with the thought that "Okay, maybe it’s just her that feels good. We’re sure BP misses JA and when he talks we’re gonna see that"BP’s interview with Anne Curry shows that he is indeed a happy man. He loves his new life, his family and he’d never….Never go back to JA. Whooops! There goes their last shot. The Fansiton’s heads explode….spilling their already rotten brains all over and this is why none of their posts makes any sense. I mean….C’mon, Bad Hygiene? He is a freak? He wore chicken suit when he first started in Hollywood and my favorite…..They’re gonna break up in 25 yrs, well at least the idiot who wrote that one accepts the fact that these two are have more staying power than he did with JA. So I was thinking….if individual interviews can get them all worked up, what happens when the two come together for an interview…haaaaaaaaa! Yep, that’s all we’re gonna hear as the the Fanistons jump off cliffs, bridges, tall buildings and hanging off ropes.So let me get another thing straight, people thought he looked haggard….hmmm, let’s see the man has a four yrs old, an 18month old and a baby. There’s no denying he’s is a hands on papa….yet we expect him to come out looking all GQed up? Anyone remember Ben Affleck after Jennifer Garner had the baby? He’s the only one I can think of because unlike BP, the razzi’s aren’t interested in other new papas…..well except TC and there is a logical explanation for him not looking worn out. He has no baby but I digress. So we have a man who has three children under five, each needing papa’s special attention…okay, that’s one. Then #2, he doesn’t care about his appearance like he did in the past becuase he’ now realized that there are far more important things in the world than to be the the most beautiful man in the world. That is okay for a 24 yrs old man but he is 42, which brings me to #3, the man is 42 yrs old…please give him a break. It would have been nice if he got the chance to be a daddy at 35 but it wasn’t in the cards for him…ot it was but somone tore up the card. #4, he knows the razzi’s are on his tail and he’s not giving them much to work with and finally, the man is going to NO, a place of devastation. He’s going to meet people who have lost everything and you expect him to dress in his bestest duds? Hey, why not have him drop by in his private plane and a streach limo giving him the tour of the devasted areas.Re Lainey:1)What is a freebie five? 2) Is that a good thing?3) Does being on it put BP on some other level in Hollywood?4) If BP knew he was on such a list and now he’s being dropped, would he lament over it?5)Will his removal from the list change him from the generous, down to earth person that he is? Will it affect his children suffer the effect of it?6) Does he know who Lainey is?If questions 2 to 6 can’t be answered with a Yes! Yes! Oh God Yes! Then I really don’t think Lainey is worth the time and energy. Sure she has loads of readers but stripped down to the very core, she has no power to change anything. So let her have her fun. And a Good Morning to all. Saw the interview and only and idiot would claim BP did not know what he was talking about. It’s so sad that people can see how NO is and still have a problem with someone who’s trying to help. Oh it’s for PR they’ll say and I’d answer…if only more celebrities will do more things for PR, maybe things won’t be as bad. Well I’ve to go to work now….guess that’s the price you pay for having a life outside JJ…oh and speaking of, Jared is BACK! Thank Goodness. DB….we..eh…appreciate all your efforts….we just want to thank you for opening our eyes to certain things….like oh….I don’t know….the fact that we are glad this isn’t your blog.. Now, we know you tried but you aren’t Jared. It’s like BP and any other that comes after him. Sorry.
I’m just amazed at some of these so called "haters’" posts. do you morons know how donations work? Obviouc;y not if you think donated beds should arrive instantly. 3 DAYS WAS ACTUALLY QUICK!!! Do you really think that it’s just that easy to hand over staggeringly large amounts of money? Did you forget that there are 2 governments invovled and they each come with their own bathc of RED TAPE? Let’s also not forget the actual doner and the doner recipient. They also have their own paperwork. If the government is set up as Cambodia’s is. The governemnt usually wants more than the actual recipient, which means what? MORE GODDAMN PAPERWORK AND DISCUSSION. Things don’t just happen at a snap! How do I know? Because I work in the field and deal with the forced buearocracy every damn day! While you’re so busy slinging mud at a woman quite a few of the world’s most powerful people respect, maybe you should check yourself, you facts and your wallets. 5 million over 15 years is still 5 million! What are you "haters" so upset about? the fact that Angelina is a PROVEN humanitarian? Or that she actually gives a damn about someone or thing other than herself? Why does it bother you sooo much that she gives? At least she’s helping these people. What exactly do you do? Maybe you can’t give 5 million but how about $15. Do you even give that? A year? Co you go and bash those who spend constantly on themselves? (Paris Hilton) NO! Of course not! Because these are your misguided idols! I bet you see nothing wrong at all with Miss Hilton’s excess…infact you probably applaud it. While you search for "so called truths" about Angelina’s donations, have you searched for truths behind the US’s " so called donations"? How about US’s continued negligence where Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Liberia, Sudan, Tanzania and The Congo are concerned? How about the Israeli crisis? You talk about truth but what about the truths that really count? Do care or are you just interested in what the tabloids and junk websites? Let me know because I’m really interested to know if you put as much time and energy in finding out about THOSE truths..you know the ones that actually affect your world….
All Brad’s ******* are mad at him!(((((((((( Updated FANFIC!!))))))))))THE HOUSE THTA BRAD BUILT!

This is from FF:"How could someone contact her is my question.I cannot BELIEVE that Jolie would be picked for playing her. Jolie not only looks trashy and low class with her tattoo’s everywhere but she simply does not seem like she could pull the acting of Marianne Pearl off with her horrid reputation and make it believable.Also, I think its extrememly cheesy when someone who owns his own production company has to put the woman he is banging in a lead role. Its so bias. Couldnt she get any roles on her own without the spreading of legs?She’s not a great actress unless she’s playing someone who is dark or mental and she is just bad for this part but not only that she and her horrid acting and reputation will distract from what Marianne Pearl went through too which is really sad. I wont be watching it."AND:"You can send your insults and disrespect of Mariane Pearl to GLAMOUR mag. You’ll have to locate the infor yourself, but she’s a contributing editor for the mag, and I’m sure your correspondence will reach her, or at least I hope it does as I want her to inform all of you that SHE made the choice, and is pleased with it just like she has already been quoted as saying. I look forward to her addressing your nerve at telling a woman who went through the hell she has that she’s stupid for daring to believe Angelina Jolie, a woman who happens to be a friend, is very capable of bringing her story "the story she lived through, and still deals with" justice."
# 1907 | Krishna | July 17, 2006 09:24 AM you’re a bit unbalanced, aren’t you? i am scared for the Pitts that you know who they are. forget you ever know them. please.
Anistons fans are really scary bunch. I do not know if Aniston herself is instigating this attitude from her pathetic fans. If she did not know about her fans attitude, she better be careful because these hyeanas will eat her alive if she start lecturing them & ask them to stop. Just wondering what these animals saw in her? If they want sweetness there are a lot of celebs who got more class & charisma than her. I really do not get it.
1918 aileenVery true. Hyenas -pack of dog like african animals. Described as cruel, treacherous and their penetrating fiendish laughter disrupts the the serenity of African nights.They are trying to revive the sagging popularity of their clueless, cloutless, and talentless idol.So sick of her, not mentioning her name anymore.
rachel got so ballistically crazy after watching brad on tv yesterday hence all these hateful posts……becaise tje truth is brad got his family who he loves and loves him back while rachel only got her sitcom……keep on crying rachel
maybe only a few rachel fans but i think it is more likely rachel’s pr crew are posting these hateful remarks….the remarks are too emotionally crazy ….only someone who is hurting personally can be that hateful and spiteful.
what happen to Heath?http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3419/1642/1600/ellen_degeneres.0.jpgBrad gets **** for looking old, beat , he is twice Heath’s age? Brad just keeps getting better and better. Brad was a hot man at twenty and even hotter now1
Bet ya none of these FF minions have read A Mighty Heart or any serious literatures.This woman can only do roll eyes.smirk and tighten her long chin. Give some respect to MPearl.She and her son had been handed the most horrific injustice.No need to put them into more traumatic spin by watching Rachel Greendo M Pearl’s role.How can you be so cruel.!!!!!
