Although spearheaded by actor and activist Brad Pitt, the fate of this project rests in YOUR very capable hands! You can help create these healthy and safe homes by visiting MIR’s website. There, take an interactive tour of the homes currently under construction. You can donate anything from LEEDS certification and solar paneling to an energy-saving light bulb. Not only is the website informative, but it’s also tons of fun! When else do you have the opportunity to work with Brad Pitt building environmentally friendly houses in New Orleans? How satisfying must it feel to know that you heated the home of a struggling family? Explore the website and help make a difference in the lives of a family of survivors.
