Monday December 3, 2007

Brad Pitt is leaving his mark on New Orleans.

On Monday's Today Show, he announced plans to launch a new foundation, “Make it Right,” which aims to build at least 150 environmentally friendly homes by next summer in New Orleans’ damaged lower 9th Ward.

The actor, 43, said building the homes — which will make maximum use of solar and wind energy to reduce utility costs by as much as 65 percent — has become his top priority.

When Today anchor Ann Curry asked him if it has come ahead of making movies, he said, "Sure, I guess so. Right now, this is the focus, and we’re going to see this thing through."
