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.”
“‘Make It Right’ has exceeded my expectations,” said Pitt who set up the foundation in 2007.
“Our criteria from the beginning were at odds, to say the least. We demanded that these homes be sustainable, that they have aesthetic qualities … that they be storm resilient and take safety in mind of the families who live there and that they would be affordable.”
“Make It Right” has created 13 homes in the New Orleans area the 9th Ward, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

So proud of him. The entire event was just fabulous, especially the words from one of the owners of a home, but seeing him laughing with President Clinton just makes me smile. Thanks for the photos and positive site.
He looks great. Love his messy hair but not the beard. Great job with MIR. Thanks Josan
I’m so proud of him and the work he’s doing! May more be inspired by this! Thanks Josan for sharing!!!!
