I remember someone saying that fallen leaves should be left on the ground to help the wildlife surrounding a home. Well for those who are adamant about raking their leaves, here is something you can do as opposed to bagging them up on the side of the road.

Here is an idea that could be a revolutionary alternative to the standard ways we harness energy. In combination with soaking up solar and wind power, this turbine also collects energy from air currents that are created by moving vehicles. 

It's no secret how smog and air pollution can have such a negative affect on the health of citizens, and the planet as a whole. One entrepreneur in India has come up with an idea to, "...capture the soot and other polluting particles in containers so it can be turned into something useful like building tiles."

When we think about the average vehicle, we know it'll either be powered by gas, electricity, or both. Moving forward, we might need to add hydrogen to that mix because a tech firm has just revealed an SUV with six swappable hydrogen capsules to expedite refueling in seconds. 

It's truly remarkable to see so many innovative ways that people have found to produce energy. This particular company has, "...developed a patented, smart, and cost-efficient technology for turning ocean and sea waves into green electricity."  Easy to build, low costs of maintenance, and connectivity to the grid means this idea is here to stay.

Finding green solutions to global waste is something that everyone should strive for when possible. Cupffee is an edible cup that is described as a sort of wafer that is sturdy enough to hold your hot beverage while you drink, and then after you're done, chow down.

Galvorn is a new material that is being hailed as a potential game changer when it comes to the future of green tech landscaping. Stronger than steel, lighter than aluminum, and with the conductivity of copper, Galvorn is also set to displace dirty materials and contribute to cleaner air.

"The fuel combines carbon captured from the atmosphere with hydrogen sourced from the water to create methane, which is converted into a fuel that works the same as gasoline."

India is a place where sanitary pads are unaffordable for over half of the women who live in the country. Two engineers took it upon themselves to develop affordable, biodegradable pads that are from natural and locally sourced material such as banana tree fibre.

Created by an undergraduate student, this award winning design is meant to rid our rivers of microplastics, while also being used as a tool for recycling. What's even better is that, "...its design is open source and free to download on the contest website, and anyone with a 3D printer can create their own microplastic-sucking fish."

"Known as agrivoltaics, the technique harvests solar energy twice: where panels have traditionally been used to harness the sun’s rays to generate energy, they are also utilized to provide shade for growing crops, helping to retain moisture in the soil and boosting growth." A simple, yet innovative idea to boosting crop growth. 

A story like this might not matter to everyone the planet, but it does highlight the advances that have been made with regards eliminating baldness. Growing fully mature hair follicles in a petri dish is revolutionary by itself, but the methodology could apply to other fields as well which is an exciting byproduct of this development. 

Moving away from fossil fuels completely is going to be difficult, but inventions like this could be the catalyst for change. "The {solar} device would allow hydrogen to be produced without carbon emissions," and the applications range from powering a whole house to eliminating water scarcity.

Desalination is something that would solve a massive global problem, but unfortunately it is difficult to achieve at a high scale. This particular greenhouse structure has an ability to change the game and benefit millions of lives around the world. 

This story is a couple years old, but innovative ideas like this should always be highlighted. Of course there is still a lot of work to be done, but learning that honeybee venom can kill certain cancer cells is extremely exciting because, "It provides another wonderful example of where compounds in nature can be used to treat human diseases."

While the technology still has a little ways to go, this innovative idea has the potential to impact our planet in an extremely positive way. New buildings are going up every day around the world, so why not have every window be a solar panel to harness clean energy?

"Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have developed an electronic tattoo ink made of liquid metal and carbon nanotubes that functions as a bioelectrode." Translation: an electronic tattoo that can help us to better understand our body, but also alert us when something needs to be addressed.

Bowel cancer is something that can be very uncomfortable, but it can also be awkward when it comes to utilizing a home testing kit for screening. Brian McCormick decided to create an easier way for sampling and disposing by inventing dissolving wet wipes that are environmentally friendly and applicable to other aspects of life. 

An A380 Airbus completed a three-hour flight that was mostly made from used cooking oil and waste fats. The fuel not only cuts CO2 emissions by up to 80 per cent, but the idea could also be an innovative solution for sustainable air travel in the future.

Food waste is one of the most upsetting byproducts of society and something that needs to be addressed worldwide. This particular application lets consumers buy leftover food from restaurants at the end of each day, selecting either specific items from the menu or a "surprise bag" of whatever is available at the time.

This story may not appeal to many people, but it's an incredible achievement that deserves recognition. At first glance, the design is unrecognizable from an actual Bugatti, but it's the innovative engineering that is truly remarkable, especially without the use of powerful tools and standard electronics.

Were you aware that nearly a billion people on the planet do not have access to electricity? It's crazy to imagine, but apparently true, so WaterLight was invented to assist these communities. Made from water-resistant, recyclable materials, this portable lamp uses a "water-activated magnesium battery" that recharges by adding saltwater.

Sometimes it's hard to believe, but there are still a handful of indigenous cultures in the world trying to live out their lives peacefully. Unfortunately, those in the modern world wish to take away their land and have been doing so for years. This story is a major win for the indigenous communities in Ecuador.

A new law in California will require food suppliers and grocery stores to donate all edible food waste to a rescue organization or food bank. "The goal is to reduce 75% of landfilled organic waste and increase edible food recovery by 20% by 2025."
