Brad Pitt is trying to show New Orleans residents that it can be easy being green.
The 44-year-old father of six discusses his ongoing Make It Right project in the January issue of Architectural Digest.
Pitt’s project aims to build 150 eco-friendly new homes in the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged city’s Lower 9th ward.
“We’ve cracked something here … these houses redefine affordable housing,” Pitt tells the mag. “This is a proving ground for a bigger idea that could work globally.”
Brad says the devastation of Katrina hit home for him.
“I couldn’t believe nothing was going on. […] I recalled the pictures of people on roofs, begging for help and I couldn’t believe that this was our America.”
Helping with the rebuilding efforts, Pitt adds, gives him a rush:
“You have no idea what a high it is for me to see the delight on people’s faces when they see how these homes work.”
