Whoops! Brad Pitt’s ‘Eco-Friendly’ Homes Are Falling Apart

In 2006, Brad Pitt came to the rescue of New Orleans residents with his plan to build affordable homes for those displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

There was just one problem. His liberal obsession to fight climate change – by using “cheap recycled materials” – means those homes are now falling apart.

On Monday’s Today show NBC correspondent Stephanie Gosk reported that Pitt and his charitable foundation are being sued for selling “defective and improperly constructed homes.”

Gosk talked to one of the residents, Kamaria Allen, who complained: “This has been years of ongoing live and broken promises. We were promised green, healthy, energy-efficient homes and we have everything but those things.”

Back in 2006, NBC’s Today show hyped Pitt’s project when Ann Curry toured the hurricane-ravaged area to promote Pitt’s “eco-friendly approach” to rebuilding New Orleans.

The Oceans Eleven star preached to Curry that green tech was the “way of the future” because “We just can’t keep consuming ourselves into extinction.”

Pitt’s charitable instincts to help dislocated residents should be applauded, but sadly his devotion to lefty environmentalism means those residents are without homes again.
