By Kerry TruemanNew Orleans’ Ninth Ward must be on cloud nine today with the unveiling of the 13 eco-friendly low-income home designs Brad Pitt commissioned from green architects for his Make it Right project. Instead of sitting around bemoaning the lack of leadership on rebuilding New Orleans, Pitt has ponied up $5 million dollars out of his own pocket, and teamed up with green design guru William McDonough, among others, to help create 150 sustainable, affordable homes for the devastated Ninth Ward.Pitt’s making it easy for everyone to pitch in and help the Big Easy; whether you’re a foundation, a corporation, or an individual, you can help build these cleverly designed, super-efficient and desperately needed homes by adopting “one house, several houses or a portion of a house,” as Pitt told the New York Times. “You can adopt a tankless water heater or a solar panel or a tree or a low-flush toilet”you can give it to someone for Christmas.” Now, there’s the kind of gift-giving that even the Reverend Billy and his Church of Stop Shopping would say “Amen!” to!
