It's great that Brad Pitt is investing in making good, sustainable and affordable homes in the 9th Ward of New Orleans. Wish others would just join with him rather than wait for officials to not get it done.

They were asked to base their work on a very traditional New Orleans home – the duplex. We also asked them to make the home green, affordable, and durable enough to weather the storms to come. In addition, they were expected to do it using materials inspired by William McDonough’s <A href="http://www.c2ccertified.com/">Cradle-to-Cradle</A> philosophy and verified to be non-toxic and recycle-able. They cleared that high bar AND created homes of great and lasting beauty”, Make It Right Executive Director, Tom Darden explained.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.socialearth.org/nola-will-have-the-greenest-neighborhood-in-the-u-s-thanks-to-brad-pitt"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.socialearth.org/img/431E5E86-5A3D-4503-ADDD-7291B7F5D04B" alt="mr pitt" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.socialearth.org/nola-will-have-the-greenest-neighborhood-in-the-u-s-thanks-to-brad-pitt"><P>I am planning my next trip to NOLA, and will definitely stop to admire the 9th ward, and until then I will help Make it Right.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/68302A4D-E10E-48A1-A19E-76E9A9A6B178/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
