Since 2007, Brad Pitt has been contributed to home construction in a section of New Orleans that was heavily damaged when Hurricane Katrina struck in August 2005. When Brad Pitt visited the Lower 9th Ward after Hurricane Katrina, he was hurt by all of the destruction.  He was annoyed by the nonchalance of some officials to address the situation. His foundation is called  “Make It Right”, which is also supported by community leaders and people all over the world have donated to his organization. Ellen DeGeneres has been one of his biggest supporters and she has raised over 1.2 million dollars for “Make It Right Foundation.”  Also big corporate companies like Brinks Home Security, Georgia-Pacific, Sustainable Home and Garden, Ferguson and many others have supported Brad Pitt’s Foundation.

All 150 homes are being built with features including rooftop solar panels and energy-efficient appliances to help reduce electricity consumption.  Like Tyler Perry, Brad Pitt has cared about rebuilding New Orleans.  Brad Pitt was presented with a plaque from the U.S. Green Building Council which said the actor and his foundation “Make It Right” had created the “largest and greenest single-family community in the world.”
