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.

YOU GO BRAD!

Thanks for the link CHM, I am not going to be busy AT ALL at work today, I want all the J/B links that are available.. lol,,
COLD HARD MATH & ALERO
Thanks for the picture of the Pearl & Brad P .
Deranged Aniston fans are SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORS.
This has been one of their biggest dissapointments. Jen Aniston NO LONGER HAS THE PERKS that came with Brad Pitt's clout in the MOVIE industry.
This is the harsh reality--Brad is now with an OSCAR winning actress, and of course he will bring Jolie jobs when he sees fit. For MAMS he said he wanted to cast an EQUAL partner. Obviously his then TV actress wife wasn't even in the picture. I'm sure it burned her ego.
Fortunately Aniston came down to face the reality--Brad Pitt was a bit over-reaching. She said recently she now wants an "EQUAL" person. Funny TV woman with Funny comedian man is perfect. It's the fans who can't see the truth and keep making her their victim.
Rob, see that CAPS LOCK key on you far left? Hit it.
You keep talking about what a snotty bitch and snotty ass Brad is--I
think you have a crush on him.

Please take your Prozac. and calm down.

ROB is obviously not a guy. Rob is a 15-16 year old little girl in desperate need of Proactiv. No self respecting guy would post the lame crap she does.
Brad Pitt makes more money in 1 day then ROB will make in his entire life. You suck at life ROB, go kill yourself.
ROB ---shut up
Note to ROB.
This is what I do when I see a post like yours in all caps....I ignore it. I have no idea what you wrote, but going by the responses, seems like your a looney bin.
It's the difference between a Mercedes SL600 and a donkey that fell in the mud.

I am pissed at those "MSNBC wanka's too and all their lame crap! agggghhhhhhhhh
What else? Oh!!! I have posted numerous votes to the "polls" in question. US & Hello. (Trying to do my bit guys! First time I have ever given a damn…but f**k the X!!! I don’t see how anyone in their right mind could think she is a better actress than AJ….but…I know…ssssshhhhhhhhhh…I shall just keep on, keeping on.)
Well? I know I have left out tonnes of things I wanted to say...but that shall do for now.
I shall just leave y’all with the following lyrics I am currently prancing around the room too…just like Angie & Brad, I luvvvvv Gwen. Shoot me down dead but??? This kind of like sounds like a good “war cry” to me….(?)

Mangelina, get a grip. I think it would be a total embarrassment and utter degradation to Mariane Pearl to have Aniston play her. What a cruel thought. Please show some respect for Daniel Pearl and what he has done. Aniston has no conscience... she loves herself too much. She is somewhat sociopathic - a very egocentric individual with no empathy for others, and indeed incapable of feeling remorse or guilt.

Rob,
Brad is not a sudden producer, he co- produce Troy on 2003 , and produce the hit Charlie the Chocolate factory . Do some research before you talk rather than relying on the trash from the tab.

This is just too funny, X lives in a true world of delusion, I wish she would just go away
Angelah- thanks for update:re me again & Moi J.
Channel- Thanks for the link- for Jolie-Pitts car
me again & Moi J- your hardwork to get Brad news to us is TRULY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
#83, Creativegirl, thank you for the site. What an absolute beauty... she is so breathtakingly gorgeous! Wow!
# 118 | ell
Thanks ell for the link. Everyone don't forget to register to vote for your favorite design. On a shallow note Brad looks HOT in that picture. Long live the Jolie-Pitts!
# 91 Gigi--That was a very thoughtful post. Thanks for it.
Brad's a DILF in that picture.
# 120 | lookwhaticando
How can X expect to get any work from a man whom she publicly
insulted as "sensitivity chip missing"? The harsh reality is finally
setting in. Brad is GONE from her not only personally, but also
professionally.
# 127 | Miss Realistic
yawn....
Brad the Dad,you are HOT!!!!!!!
# 120 | lookwhaticando | - Thanks for the link, the X is crazy, she thinks that this role would garner her an Oscar, oh please, is that all she could think about getting an Oscar, she is not even thinking about the movie itself and what its all about, all she is thinking is winning a Oscar, what a selfish bitch
Hi, I'm Mr. Realistic. I apologize for my wife, she's just upset because she's a FATSO with a yeast infection.
Hey ladies, don't you think Brad is maturing beautifully these
days? I was hoping he would take Sean Connery way than Robert
Redford way, and looks like he will be up for many, many diverse
rolls with this new "mature man" look of his. He could do a lot
now, not just heros and leading men. Anyway, nothing like a family life to make men grow up :) Talking like a real pro :)
# 131 Mr Realistic--LMAO.
# 120 | lookwhaticando |
J. Maniston had nothing to do with getting the movie rights to A Mighty Heart. Brad was the one making the deals for Plan B while Chin was getting a Mystic tan. If haters would read past interviews of Mariane Pearl's she only talks about meeting with Brad and how he was the only one, of the many producers, to have read the book. J. Maniston is delusional and... she has skin like beef jerky.
#46, Moi Jade, thanks for the clip... those two were meant to hook up.
