Especially living in California, this idea would be helpful. Let’s cut back on having to start the car up 5 minutes early to cool the inside down before placing your children in their car seats. How about a car seat that has a built in…

I think using the wind generated from passing cars could harnessed to drive small wind turbines (very small, but many placed along the median) to reclaim part of the energy used to power the cars themselves. The only issue I see with this would be…

So much food is wasted and gone to landfill instead of being reused. How about having neighborhood composts where interested neighbors can share buying supplies, dumping the bio waste and utilizing the compost?

Is there a way to get the movement of the Earth to generate electricity? Energy is supposed to be transferable, as electricity can become magnetism, and since the planet is one massive magnetic can it generate electricity?

In residential areas when you get grey water from sinks or bathtubs, instead of mixing it with sewage water we should use it for watering gardens, or it should go to a different filtration place so that it uses less energy

Cold fusion has been around for 20 years but not investigated fully. People should spend more money and time researching this, as well as investigating other sources than just oil and solar.

Bottled water is a healthy alternative to soda and convenient when packaged and sold in drink bottles. It’s also good business. And carrying a bottle or canteen is often impractical. However, no one needs to “see” the water. We…

If you save Water/Electricity what will you get :satisfaction that you have contributed to Environment.Utilities companies should encourge people to save water/electricity by rewarding them with environment dollors and also allow people to cash…

Make a simple way to monitor the amount of electricity being used by individual appliances, both instantaneously and over a time period, to encourage people to reduce their energy usage.

We can all remember how the solar system was explained in school. With the sun, standard theory described it as a big ball of ionized gas with a nuclear reaction at the core. This is the commonly accepted standard theory on how our sun works.…

Since foam forms that come with products are indestructible, I thought of making a birdhouse out of them. There are parts of the foam that are already cut, i.e. doors, windows, partitions and all I had to do was fput them together and presto, a…

I know this may sound Polyanna, but I try and pick up a little “relatively clean” trash whenever I go out. I know there is a since of “I didn’t make the mess, why should I clean it up!” But the end product is that…

The amount of recyclable trash that is not recycled by folks like “The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf” and “Pete’s Coffee” is astounding. If they won’t do it, why don’t each of us do it? The cardboard…

I go camping a bit and sometimes use the small propane tanks – that – once empty are simply thrown out. They cannot be recycled because they are or can be under pressure. Same thing with spray cans, whipped cream containers, etc. …

As I drive around I am constantly amazed by two things: The amount of full lighting that shops and business leave on throughout the night and the fact that nobody says anything about it. Since energy is at such a premium, businesses should…

My idea is to create a meter for homes that would display the approximate cost of electricity at a given time. The LED display would be centrally located in your home, and would show how much electricity (in dollars and cents) that you’re…
