Brad Pitt Helps Rebuild New Orleans

Listen here

Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst natural disasters to occur in American history.

Two years after the hurricane struck New Orleans, actor Brad Pitt, along with his partner Angelina Jolie, are helping to rebuild the city through an organization called Global Green USA.

Speaking on the American television program “Today” Pitt said that his goal is to bring affordable and environmentally friendly housing to New Orleans.

The houses built by the project will cost $175,000, much less than the average price of a home in other American cities. Also, the homes will save 75 percent more energy than an average American home.
