Brad Pitt to narrate PBS series with Morgan Freeman

Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman to narrate PBS series

In his continuing quest to work on environment and world issues, Brad Pitt will be narrating a PBS series called “e2: the economies of being environmentally conscious”; the series will be entering its second season.

The plan for the next season is to deal with energy use and designs that enable people to save energy. Brad Pitt’s segment, titled “e2 design” will feature a great deal of architects and their visions for energy-saving design. Considering Brad’s passion for architecture, this isn’t surprising at all. I’m sure the segment will be awesome.

Morgan Freeman’s voice is so perfect for narration that I’m very interested in his segment too, which is the first in the series, and is titled “e2 energy”.

You can check out more information and view some free webcasts at the official e2 website.

    I live in a like very very very very hot place(but recently it’s gotten cold) and maybe it does affect the people in Africa like that, and like that is why we need to help them. But the fact is, we like can’t change the weather, we can pray to God that he will but like that about it.

    Anyways the real reason i decided to post again is, i’m surprised that you people responded so maturely give yourself a pat on the back. Instead of like closing up more on the idea from stupid responses with like foul language and sore arguments you acted like humans. Good job.

    We should be applauding Brad & Ange for their causes, Brad is doing something very important in the environment at NOLA, Ange helping the refugees thru education & donating their time & money. True, they travel a lot but that’s for doing their jobs, they are celebrities, I wished more celebrities will be like them. They are making a difference, that’s the most important thing. They are using their status to make the world listen & be aware of what’s going on around the globe. I am so proud of Brad & Ange.

    It seems like no matter what Brad or Angie will do, they will be criticized by people who are not aware of their purpose. They are humanitarians. Their mantra is to help the environment and the needy in the world. Since they are famous internationally and A-listers in Hollywood, they are using this status to generate awareness by putting the message out there through the media. Communication of information about the environment is vital especially at this stage. Helping Chad and the rest of the continent are important too that is why, Angie has these projects which were her passion even before she met Brad. Actually, they do not have to do any of these projects. They can sit at the pool, sip wine and enjoy the California sun all day. BUT they are humanitarians. They feel the pain and have seen the cry of the hungry, the dying, the disease, the poverty. They care. Very few celebrities pay attention to these issues nowadays. But Angie and Brad are putting 50% of their time and efforts to these humanitarian causes. Of course, they fly in first class jets and fast cars. Everyone is allowed to play as hard as they work. I don’t think it is hypocritical to enjoy money and luxury when you have it. When you are dying, you will think, why didn’t I enjoy my life when I was younger, and have money and have the time. The important thing is they are sharing their gifts to us, to the poor, to the ones who need help as best they can. Remember, I said, as best they can. They are allowed to stay in first class hotels because they earned it. And it was mentioned too, that once in a while, Brad and Angie (without the kids) have stayed at Motel 6 and have eaten at Taco Bell. But they are not perfect. They are as close to the ideal to us their fans. I am proud of them. Thank you Sherry.

    Usually, I’d type something long in response to Alayna’s and Bel’s comments, but everyone’s articulated some very well thought out and eloquent replies. Woohoo! So, I’ll just be glib and say Alayna’s being overly captious, and Bel just needs to have a better understanding of Brad and Angie’s lives. At least, they are making a difference unlike me and some other people here, and I think, in their case since they are the most hounded celebs, they have to pick their battles. Their mode of transportation may somewhat contradict what they’re trying to promote environmentally, but they do have their children to protect.

    I applaud Angelina and Brad. Of course they have considered their carbon footprint. They’re not stupid, selfish, or hypocritical. Given the nature of their advocacy work, the security issues they face that most of us don’t, the demands of their careers – above all else, the safety of their children – what transportation would you suggest they take?

    People need to stay up out of their business. Whenever I read about them, my faith in people is restored.

    As for those suggesting that they feed the hungry children through some charity, you misunderstand them completely. They’re not about charity, they’re about social change.

    If you don’t know what I mean, read the mission statements of the National Network of Grantmakers, The Funding Exchange, The Appalachian Community Fund, The Southern Rural Development Initiative, North Star Foundation and the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions, to mention a few sites that might enlighten you.

    Educate yourself before you start dissing Angelina and Brad. Certainly, there’s a place for charity in this world, but there’ll always be a need for charity if the circumstances that oppress people are not addressed. Angie and Brad are social change agents. They get it because they have educated themselves.

    MORE IMPORTANT THINGS????? WHAT COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN STOPING OUR PLANET BEING DESTROYED BY STUPID & GREDY PEOPLE (CORPORATIONS) WHO CARES ONLY ABOUT MONEY ITSELF. WE HAVE TO THANK & APPRECIATE WHAT BRAD PITT AND THOSE OTHER FEW ARE DOING TO EDUCATE US ALL ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT AND DELICATE ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE TRULY A CONCERN TO ALL. WOH! BRAD PITT IS NOT ONLY A HANDSOME, SEXY AND FAMOUS HUMAN BEING, BUT ALSO A SENSITIVE ONE TO MOTHER NATURE! ANGELINA JOLIE IS REALLY, REALLY LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A MAN AT HER SIDE. THEY BOTH ARE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE. VERY, VERY FEW LIKE THEM IN THE WORLD!

    You know Brad, I have to think about myself. I’m pretty sure US$20 000 is nothing for you. So do I have to give you my bank details or are you going to send me the money by cheque. Maybe I just have to do that.
