While I've got a lot of interesting green ideas I'd love to blog about, I don't have nearly enough time to get to them all.  So instead I'm going to just throw them out there, in hopes of getting back to them some day... or at least stimulating some interesting thoughts!

• The Eco-Patent Commons is a fascinating way to distribute green patents, and it is gaining steam.
• Earth2Tech recently compared a variety of iPhone apps for Car 2.0.
• The National Renewable Energy Laboratory offers a plugin to Google Sketchup that makes energy efficient building design much cheaper.  Is an open-source library of energy efficient designs far behind?
• The White House has a suggestion box for energy efficiency, open to all federal employees who want to help the government reduce its footprint.  Can we make something like that available to all organizations, large and small?
• Researchers are investigating software to make airports run more efficiently.  I'm not entirely sure what they have in mind, but it sound like a knockoff of the SETI-at-Home project, to bring distributed computing to bear on the complex problem of finding the most efficient schedule out of the vast number of potential schedules.  There are great possibilities for open source development and popular participation in this program.
• Green Cities California launched a new best practices website for municipal sustainability ordinances (h/t GreenBiz).  Hopefully this site will be not just a resource for California municipalities, but also a source of inspiration and ideas for local governments and civic activists across the country.

Not all of these are related to energy efficiency and renewable energy exactly, but they are all great examples of making the green revolution more accessible and democratic, so kudos all around.
