| Recycling Momma! 
We are the richest nation in the world. Even in the poorest neighborhoods routinely people (and mainly women/mothers) discard clothing. This is as a result of cleaning out a closet or a child's dresser due to that child outgrowing their clothes. More often then not the lot of clothes is clean and in good repair. After all, it is coming straight from a closet or dresser. In stead of taking these things to a thrift store or shelter usually we are too busy so we just throw it away. The idea is to have people label these bags...red for women's clothes, blue for men's clothes, pink for girl and powder blue for boy--trite but effective. The trash bag with these clothes could be placed on the curb the day before trash pick up. If anyone can use them, they are free to pick up the entire bag. They can then take what they like, pass on the rest, take it to a thrift store or shelter or discard same.Rules would be simple: Bags would have a size written in appropriate color. Bags put out for the recycle would contain only clean clothes in good repair. Pick up would be allowed only during day light hours. Pick up would not be allowed for picking through clothes on the street. The landfills would get a break and we would be passing on and sharing a huge resource. Our interdependence would be supported. This would require a grassroots effort. Note: even if these bags were regularly picked up by people using them to make a profit, it would be better served then going into the ground. Reward: The knowing that the program is working. Please email me with ideas of how to make it work in your community. patriciazirin@comcast.net

| Mobile for the elderly
There's an entire generation out there that would desperately need mobile phones, but they are more or less barred from their use. I'm talking about elderly people who would love to have a mobile for certain situations, but today's phones are so small and the buttons even smaller that they simply can't use them.What I am thinking of is a simple device with just a couple of picture buttons - one for calling the doctor, one for a taxi, one for the grand daughter etc. The grand children (or the mobile shop) would program those buttons once and even old people with bad eyes and shaky fingers could easily handle such a device.Reward: Such a mobile for free for my parents who will need it by the time it has been invented

| The Stupidest Robot
A walking, talking idiot of a robot that is a total pain in the butt to control and take care of. Like having a new baby or a new DVD player with no instructions. You tell it one thing and it does another. It could talk like Bevis or Butt Head, talk to itself or be annoying. Tell bad jokes and swear alot. Mainly, you could program all the bad habits of anything and anyone or, have it call itself someone you don't like and then, tell it to say "I am a dumb ass!"You would finally have a good reason to abuse someone; the Robot. Take it all out on the Robot. No more stress when you can yell at something like this.Reward: Credit
