The entire Holy Cross Neighborhood in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward is making a move to rebuild their community in a sustainable way. They are calling the project “sustainable preservation” and hoping that they can restore their neighborhood to better than it was before.

From March 8 through the 23rd, hundreds of people from all over the country will volunteer their energy and ideas for rebuilding in a historic opportunity to integrate sustainable practices with the preservation of a historic place. To find out more about how you can help create the nation’s first carbon-neutral community, visit historicgreen.org.
