Sustainability and Google’s 10th Anniversary

Ideas may be a dime a dozen, but turning an idea into action generally costs money–sometimes a lot of money. And that’s where Google can be of service.

It’s Google’s Tenth Anniversary, and they are celebrating by giving away up to $10 million for good ideas to change the world. Project 10^100 is open to any idea that will “better the world,” but here at The Inspired Economist, we’re hoping you’ll have an idea to sustainably grow a local or major economy, to lower energy demand or to develop clean energy, to reduce exposure to toxins and/or to clean up the environment.

‘no pressure, but you have only until October 20, 2008 to formulate a really, really good idea. You’ll submit it online. When you check out the brief submission form, you’ll see that you can also submit a video, and you can also ask to be connected with foundations that might support your idea if you are not selected for Google’s award… And how do you get selected?

A truly brilliant idea: The Hippo Water Roller
