One New Orleans historic district is struggling to become the nations first carbon-neutral neighborhood. Help New Orleans Holy Cross Neighborhood in their recovery and rebuilding efforts. In the days immediately following Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, this neighborhood in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward became submerged in 10 feet of water for three weeks following a massive levee break nearby. Although fewer than 20% of the residents have been able to return to their homes nearly 2 years after the hurricane and flooding, Holy Cross hopes to become a sustainable, energy independent community of the future and a shining example for the nation as a whole.
