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 hope people don't forget the message of this story.
DANIEL PEARL, YOU ROCKED.........

I'm glad to know this has been in the works since Sept. 2005. Some delusional fans thought he just woke up to it and announced it to do a PR job. Go Brad and God bless you. You will prevail because of your truth and your kindness no matter what the detractor says. We know you are a good man and we are behind you 1000%.
# 32 | tabloids |I learnt shooting starts in five weeks.
**
I read that also. But there is no lead actor or supporting actors posted on any of the movie sites. So I don't think that number can be correct. They also have to find the sites to film. There seems to be alot of preproduction work that needs to be done. Five weeks sounds really short.
Angie looks great in the St Johns ad.
Why haven't they named the male lead? I hope Brad doesn't play Daniel Pearl.
lmao @ her face. The pic is on Perez without the blurr.
# 39 | alero | I was wondering about the 5 weeks also, which would be sometime in sept, but isn't Brad suppossed to be filming BB in NO during the fall.
HERE'S a REPOST from the TATOO THREAD; I just wanted to make sure the recipients saw it:
Me Again-- you've been a great inspiration here for us fans; after all, Angie or Brad could decide to visit our own places of work our of the goodness of their hearts, for those of us who work in humanitarian, service oriented places. You must be exhausted after all the running around on top of the extra excitement this week! I know, I have little kids myself, and any overtime projects at work push life in upper gear.
Moi Jade, thank you for updating us. Have a peaceful night~
To all my BAMZSers~ May we live life to our potential, for angels do fly among us as we least expect the mystery, unaware. Goodnight, amigas ;) I will be back in touch tomorrow, email, posts, and WALAwalaYAY..DoobieDoobie Got the Hint and gave us our new thread! Maybe we can post on both and see how long the other one gets~
MANGELINA=cALIgIRL... same & one person. Haters lurk & camouflage themselves. Scary thought. All I can say round them up & put them at the burning stake. I will be rejoicing with utmost gusto.
HAHA.....Thanks JJ that was fast dude.....I told you the
natives were restless....!! :)
OK one last really funny tidbit for ya all. Here is the link that

# 44 | Zaiyana |
HI ZAI!!!! You too sweet one!~~ Peace sistah.
# 47 | Moi Jade-how pathetic can they be, using the extra take from a fictional movie as their base of fact?...LOL, these womens remind me of those maniac fans, who think that the actor's character are real person, like television show characters are real person.....LOMAO., did they greed X as Rachel? or
# 43 | Zaiyana -sweet dream and peace be with you as well.
# 49 | XXX |-hmmmm sound good...cancel page to Dr. Feel Good. LOL
# 46 | Moi Jade | Are you serious?! That's IT? LOL, oh now I see it. Their roles call for only fingertip touching at no locking elbows. After all, that's what Dorothy did with the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion, and look where they ended up! Such sinners! ;) Now I completely understand yeah...(whisper...shhh those evil flying FF witches might abduct me for my Jolie DVD collection and People magazine. shhh)
# 42 | QQQQ- I thought the filming is in 2007 and it will be out in theater 2008...may be I'm wrong.
# 46 | Moi Jade | -- what?? lmao. That is kinda sad (for 'em)
good night everyone, until tomorrow....
# 13 | COLD HARD MATH

# 52 | Zaiyana |
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOL!
# 33 | angelah
that's HOT!!
# 59 | Estelle
I ventured off to right and clicked on Brad Pitt over the years as well as AJ over the years. I saw the picture of AJ with the X-files guy and I remembered that 2 days ago I saw for Playing God for the first time and AJ was hot in the first scene, the one at the club. And now, i just remembered that both Brad and Angie acted with the X files guy. Somehow I'm having one of those E shows with the correlations, lines on who went out with who that was a friend of this and you know that little map or arrow things. Oh I love this BAMZS family.
# 27 | COLD HARD MATH
