    Brad Pitt's Green Building Boom - II

    By nealmoore  |  Posted December 14, 2009  |  New Orleans, Louisiana
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     nealmoore shot this at the end of his journey along the Mississippi, saying, 'What struck me as an interesting prospect was the fact that returning residents of the Lower Ninth Ward are post-Katrina, all about the environment. While some observers might think this would be a given, this newfound interest is not out of fear, but rather a respect.'
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

     

    Brad Pitt’s Green Building Boom - Part II

     

    By NEAL MOORE

     

    NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA (CNN iReport)

     

    Considered one of the most famous neighborhoods in America, New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward is presently undergoing a transformation from the poster child of post-Katrina devastation into the epitome of green, sustainable living. I met with key players on the ground to discuss how this is taking shape and how the environment is playing an active roll in the psyche of Lower Ninth Ward’s returning populace.
