Laundry detergent bottle to flower watering pot.
Consumer products should be made with a second purpose for what would normally end up in a landfill. How much better would the world be today and in the future if a laundry detergent bottle had a spout on the end and could be used to water a proliferation of house and garden plants. Everyone would be encouraged to plant more plants and the world would be a greener place.

Invention Needed Benign liquid battery technology capable of being charged by a lightning strike.
Benign liquid battery technology capable of being charged by a lightning strike.
With advances in battery composition and capacitance someday we might see the return of the lightning rods. Every house will have a large pipe you could buy at a hardware store for less than one hundred dollars, it would have a basis of benign chemical battery technology at its anchoring and grounding base that would be charged when lightning hit the lightning rod. The “IRONY” is that the person whose place got struck by lightning would be the lucky one. As they could sell that energy to the electric company and their house would not be destroyed as the lightning hit the rod and charged the battery instead.
