Hello everyone! I wanted to let everyone know what some of the Green Team members were up to on this spring break!

I am in New Orleans right now and a lot of the Green Team members are with me. Here is an update of what we have done so far!

-saw Brad Pitt's Project make it right. All of the houses he built are covered in solar panels.

-we also went to a model "green home" which is the first sustainable home in a New Orleans neighborhood. They are building 5 more completely sustainable signle family homes and an apartment complex. They will be offered for very affordable prices to family's from the lower 9th ward.

-we went to the musicains village where homes were made for the local musicians who lost their homes. this was in hopes of keeping the New Orleans culture alive.

-spent the day today packaging over 10,000 pounds of food at the first harvest food bank

-we have gone shopping, ate good New Orleans food, met tons of really cool people, learned a lot, and had a great time.


We are going out tonight to Cafe Du Monde for beignets and coffee, and then start our project for Habitat tomorrow.... so I will keep everyone updated!!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their spring break!
