Andi Hoffman is the Executive Director of Green Light New Orleans. Since Hurricane Katrina, thanks to the support of donors and volunteers, the musician has led the fight to turn the Katrina disaster into an opportunity to re-invent New Orleans as a green city. 120,168 light bulbs later, Green Light New Orleans is making New Orleans a model for the rest of the nation to follow. Now, Green Light New Orleans needs additional donations and volunteers to sustain the effort.
