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 watched Charlie Rose's interview with Warren Buffett, and the Gateses. Melinda Gates was a pleasure to listen to, just like AJ. She comes adcro

Hi, I'm Mr. Realistic. I apologize for my wife, she's just upset because she's a FATSO with a yeast infection.

I agree with you, Brad & Angie are so strong!!!
God bless them!
#136 oops, I hit Post by mistake. Anyway I was going to say MGates came across as intelligent, articulate, sensible, informed and compassionate. If I were a man, I would pick that kind of woman to be my partner in life, instead of some boring cute face, no brain. I am disappointed that BP married X in the first place. I hope VV takes a lesson from BP's mistake.
# 132 be sane--He looks wonderful. A sexy dad. No longer Ken-doll
arm candy for the X.
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.
# 105 | Be sane
=======================
Thank you, The only reason she has had any "movie career" at all is because of Brad, She is a NO TALENT, now she has her claws in VV Nut sack, God help him, I hope VV finally smells the coffee and runs for his life.
I have this feelings that Angie will do the very best of her acting ability to this movie Mighty Heart because she was chosen by MPearl and Brad & their children will be her inspirations. I am looking forward for her Oscar award. I am proud of the Jolie-Pitt's family and they are always in my heart and prayers.. Hello to all BAMZSer fans and thank you for support posting notes for this family. Thanks also to Just Jared site.. You are meant to be the Jolie-Pitt's fans site. ..
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.

==========================
You could be right, but I seem to think ROB? is a Fat, 40 something, broke down greasy haired woman, that has been left by her husband for a women that looks 3 times better than her, and is not setting at home on her couch eating oreo's and drinking soda all day, in her holely house dress.
Sorry Rob? but hubby is not coming back to you, You have been dumped, and the other woman aint angie, but she still is a much better pick than you.
This is what Warren B said about Bill Gates in the Charlie Rose interview: "He is an American but he sees himself as a citizen of the world. He thinks the life of a child in India is as valuable as that of a child in America." I remember AJ said something similar about children of the world few years ago.
brad looks very tanned in the pic!!
This is why I like People Mag...

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.
# 117 | CCCC |
================================
That was worth repeating because it is soooo true, on sooo many different levels. I mean how totatlly arrogant for that dip ship No talent to think she could actually play that part.. sickning I tell ya.
Man, you need to dump her yeast infected ass and find you a better woman. Take a cue from Brad Pitt and reach for the STARS.
How can X expect to get any work from a man whom she publicly
insulted as "sensitivity chip missing"?
# 134 | Maniston |
===============================
Because she is a selfish Selfrighgious winch, that is under the false impression that people other than her insane fans want to see her on the big screen. Well jen, the sensitivey chip has left the building, see how many roles you get now..

You got it wrong on the divorce settlement. Their mansion were finally sold to around 24 or 21 million , both Brad and Jen split the amount. and before the official dateline of divorce , Jen pull out from plan B, bringing with her a few project she like which include the Senator's wife and Wanted. this was reported in the People's mag. and yahoo.com.
Sorry , BAMZ fans alway do research before debating.
This is just a new style of vanity since the hairspray, agassi hairstyle look silly. This is purely to make himself feel worthwhile and give himself kudos rather than help the people. I don't trust the motivations of this person or Jolie.
Boy Jen Jen fan's you need to let go.Several actress have played troubled people and won awards.Face it Jen Jen doesn't have the acting range,she should stick to tv.
skankelina-if u think MAMS was bad than TBU was 1000x worst. LOL
154 | truth
I don't trust J. Aniston .She is the biggest FRAUD in HOLLYWOOD>
#152, in your perverse way , you have just confirmed what a great actress she is just like Oscar winners Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Charlize Theron, Tom Hanks, Jamie Foxx et al who have also played similar roles. Good on you!
152 | SKANKELINA
OK, you think Angie is a worst actress but she still better than Chinnifer. so who's the worst ?
To # 152 .
Angelina is such a good actress .. she even convinced you the MOVIE GIA and GIRL INTERRUPTED . Face it, a good actress gets into their role completely and memerizes the viewers in the superb performance . That exactly what Angelina did in all her movie roles - she is so convincing that lead people like you who do not know FACT from FICTION into believing in the character she played on screen.
Well likewise could be said for Aniston .. becuase you naive people cannot differentiate truth from untruth .. you guys naively believed that Aniston is the SWEET American Girl in most of the movies she played ..........SO NOT ... she is the exact opposite . The manipulative selfcentered self absorbed smoker dieter who worry about her own selfish needs above all other things.
# 146 | Research4JenFans | The last part of that post is false, because Jen didnot get the house in the divorce, it was sold and they split the proceeds.... SHE IS NO LONGER PART OF PLAN B... BRAD OWNS IT(thats just tabloid crap... After the SHIT she has put out about him, him bieng diabolical and missing a sensitivity chip.. EVEN IF SHE WAS A GREAT ACTRESS, why the HELL would he want to work with HER.... U don't BURN your bridges in HW... Stupid COW
#152 S, AJ was excellent in Beyond Borders. The movie didn't do well because, at the time of it's release, the public was not aware of and not interested in learning more about the problems in other parts of the world. If it was released now, it would have done much better. It was too ahead of its time.
God Gave you eyes, Use it
God Gave you hands, Use It
Most of all, God gave you BRAINS USE IT
You have access to the internet, Use it.
Don't let the Tabloids do your thinking.
It's a waste of the right of being called a HUMAN BEING!

I just saw Ann Curry on Today. She talked about the coming interview with BP in NO. Matt Lauer asked her when it will air, she said Monday.
