Hot water faucet
Why not place coils that get hot around the spout or the entire faucet that heat up the water the instant you want HOT water? It seems like having a huge tank of water heated by gas or electric, would be more dangerous and expensive than having a relatively small coil to heat the water as needed. It would be like when you have dimming lights, except the energy would convert to heat not light.Reward: receive the product for free

Reusable Carryout Containers
A reusable container to use at restaurants to take leftovers from the restaurant home in. The restaurants could charge a one-time deposit fee for the container that the customer could use each time they visit the participating restaurant(s). This would be an alternative to styrofoam carryout containers, which would reduce the amount of styrofoam carryout containers in landfills. Restaurants could reduce their overhead by not using styrofoam carryout containers, save money and increase repeat customer volume by possibly offering incentives to customers who use their re-usable (embossed) carryout containers on their next visit!!Reward: Product For Free

Energy Conservation - Parking Lots
Have you ever seen the city lights at night ... noise pollution right? Well what about all the costs associated with those lights? Think of all those huge parking lots that have giant lights glowing all night long ... why? Now the facility owners and management will tell you it's about security, which is vaguely reasonable. However, they only need to be on when someone is there. IDEA: Add motion sensors to all those light poles so that when someone moves in the area at night, the lights come on, but otherwise it is peacefully dark and quiet. Given the spacing of these poles typically should create a "grid" that would light an area with any activity - security maintained. Plus the cost savings from electrical conservation.Reward: Credit for expressing the idea.

Highway power
The wind off of cars on the highway should be able to be harnessed in a positive manner. Why couldn't we put wind turbines down the middle of the highway so that air generated from passing vehicles could in turn power something such as the highway lights?Reward: Call it Byrd Power

Algae for Life
There's many people that think CO2 is bad, but what they don't know is that there are things in nature that have to have CO2 to survive. Did you know that algae consumes more CO2 than trees and the toxins let off by coal burning factories are nutrients to some algae's? The nutrients that the algae then produces can fight and prevent malnutrition and when dried, the algae becomes biomass and can be burned like coal for energy with no emissions. I propose that all coal burning factories, by law, should have to implement this concept to their industry.Reward: TO be truely sustainable
