Brad Pitt will help bulid at least 150 eco-friendly homes in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward by the end of next summer.

”I’m hoping we can expand here and expand over into the rest of New Orleans,” the 43-year-old actor said Monday morning in an interview on NBC’s ”Today” show.

The initiative, called Make It Right, is Pitt’s latest effort to help the area recover from Hurricane Katrina.
