Brad Pitt: Helping Build a More Sustainable New Orleans

Brad Pitt has been a busy guy lately. Between having a child with Angelina Jolie, making movies and promoting his involvement with Global Green's campaign to rebuild a greener New Orleans and sustainable Gulf Coast, he's a man on the move. Earlier this week, he and Global Green CEO Matt Peterson took time to chat with "The Today Show" on NBC about how he's helping bring green building into the national spotlight through the design contest that he's lending his name, time, talents and money to. He spoke with humility, passion and intelligence about helping New Orleans build green from the ground up, mentioning his new daughter as fresh inspiration and evangelizing green building as the wave of the future that's here today (read the full article and watch the video here).

Voting for Global Green's design competition is happening now, and the winner will be announced on August 30. Along with Global Green, we encourage you all to become a part of the rebuilding process by signing up and voting now. [Global Green] via [MSNBC]
