This past Saturday marked the first day of Historic Green, a campaign in New Orleans "to preserve history, incorporate sustainable design and return the community to its former state." Centered in two New Orleans neighborhoods hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 - Holy Cross Neighborhood and the Lower Ninth Ward - hundreds of volunteers will undertake 12 projects from March 8 - 23 that will help rebuild a sustainable city.
Of course, many of these projects started well before March 8 and will last well past March 23, but this event, led by the Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development (CSED), is aimed at bringing it all together for one big push. During these two weeks, hundreds of students and young professionals in the construction industry will converge on New Orleans, bringing their energy and ideas to help the people of the Lower Ninth revitalize their community. Architects, engineers, planners, landscape architects, interior designers and contractors will work hand-in-hand with neighborhood residents to restore their historic houses, parks, playgrounds and community centers
