Brad Pitt - Eco-Friendly Homes

Brad Pitt expects the foundations to be built for at least 150 eco-friendly homes in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward b the end of next summer. He says he is hoping they can expand here and expand over into the rest of New Orleans. The 43 year old actor gave an interview on NBC's "Today" show as he walked through the devastated neighborhood. The initiative, called Make It Right, is Pitt's latest effort to help the area recover from Hurricane Katrina. Pitt has also worked with the environmental organization Global Green USA to build five single family homes and an 18 unit apartment complex and community center; earlier this year. He and Angelina Jolie purchased a mansion in the city's French Quarter for $3.5 million. Pitt ha pledged $5 million of his own money toward the project and calling himself "not much of a salesman" was campaigning for more donations for the cause.
