Brad Pitt's Green New Orleans
Apparently taking a break
from his rambles across Africa, Brad Pitt is now throwing his substantial celebrity, liberal message muscle behind efforts to improve New Orleans. He has
recently invited the public to submit "green design" ideas as part of a competition aimed at helping rebuild
the hurricane-devastated Big Easy. Yes, Pitt is teaming up with the oxymoronic group Global Green USA on the project,
which says should help turn the catastrophe from calamity into opportunity. Says the steely-jawed Pitt: "Can we
create for these neighborhoods something even better than they had before?"Pitt will lead a jury of lesser-peers, including local folk, to select six finalists by July all in the hope of building 10,000 energy efficient structures in the city. So nice. What would Earth Day be without some celebrity activism?
