While attending the Clinton Global Initiative Thursday, Poppa Brad Pitt was honored by the US Green Building Council for all he's done with his Make It Right foundation to rebuild New Orleans.
Poppa Pitt hopes that his sustainable housing project will pave the way for more people to consider an eco-friendly building solutions. “We can no longer tell ourselves that implementing this technology is too complex a problem because it’s just been proven on this little spot on the map.”
Out of the 150 homes planned, so far only 13 have been built, but residents are already seeing the benefits with the average electricity bill being only $35.
Next up for the Future Design Fellow?
Brad's foundation is already working on the next stage of the project which will include eco-friendly duplex designs.
He may still have that awful beard, but we're willing to deal with it for a little while longer because of all the good work he does!
