Some Favorite Videos From The X Prize Contest

I was asked to mention some of my favorites among the videos in the X Prize “My Crazy Green Idea” contest that can be seen on You Tube at www.youtube.com/groups_videos?name=crazygreenidea. One kind of exciting idea discusses a process that appears so possible to implement that I wonder why more people aren’t working with it. Examples are: “Building Topsoil Rapidly,” by justuscarbonfarmers, pg 4, row 2, #1; and “Bamboo X Prize,” by pannellw147, pg 3, row 4, #2.

There is a group page on You Tube containing the 133 video entries, each limited to 2 minutes, for the recent X Prize contest, "My Crazy Green Idea," to come up with an idea for the next X Prize alternate energy competition--ideas addressing climate change and lowering carbon emissions.  I'm going through these a few at a time and think they form an addition to the Climate Change exhibit and are all worth looking at.  The web address is: www.youtube.com/groups_videos?name=crazygreenidea
