Trojan Help: Neighborhood Disaster Relief as Community Builder

I wasn't asleep at the wheel on the 19th, I was, um, FATHERING.
Speaking of duties, I have a duty to my community. Here's one I really like:

When the "Homeland Security" people came by 2 years ago, 4 people from our hood showed up. It was cool, actually, even to meet so few people. What would be cooler? Under the guise of *only* doing disaster relief/response stuff in your hood, you could do it up like a community event. Do a BBQ potluck, share photos of your kids in college, talk about the lack of speed bumps to slow down the teenagers, whatever.

It's not really a ruse, I just like the concept of double-tasking the event. Truth is, a strong community is itself the best disaster response, response. Meet your peeps AND help save their lives someday. Excellent.

Silicone feeding shield upgrades

Breastfeeding moms know:
Clear silicone is nearly invisible. Misplacing your nipple shield is
no good when you live from feeding to feeding.

Enter the designer nipple shield with color coded edges and glow in
the dark outer rim. X2idea since moms really need it.

Personal energy savings credits

Yes. When you can prove you are saving energy compared to the average,
you get a tax credit. Similar to corporations. Maybe you can trade
your offsets as well. If your whole household saves energy, you get
another break.

Every kid gets a blog

They need to be heard and it won't cost much. Google could do it for
free. Also comes with their free public library card. Free training
included ( typing lessons too).

Seriously. He's my scalable hero. I wish he was my dad.

Corn Alternative Weeds

No freaking clue how this will be done, but we need to do it. Some kind of growing medium that needs very little water, no pesticides, can be grown in the barren desert, and could be used as a rotation crop. Cannabis/hemp still needs water, but it's a possibility.
It has to grow like a weed. It can't be a genetically modified plant (unless you consider breeding modification). We can't live on corn alone. Switchgrass sounds nice, I guess.

Of course, a totally synthetic version of "corn" would be nice, something that could be made in a petri dish medium on a grand scale. It's starting to sound sci-fi, but that's because I am no longer a professional biologist.

Vegetable Cling-Wrap

cellulosic recombinations, ahoy! If they can make a corn-based "plastic" cup, they can make thinner and stickier plastic for use as cling-wrap. While I don't like the reliance on corn-based-everything, I think we can start there. Algae? Anyone?
