I checked out some of the greener gadget ideas. I think one of the requirements for entering the contest should be a basic LCA comparison between the product idea and the "non-green" method which the product replaces. For example, how many loads of wash would I need to do with my plastic, mass-produced, hand-powered clothes washing machine before the water and energy savings supersedes the energy costs to produce and ship the product.

Simple idea that gets tossed around a lot, but it's hard to tell whether a new single-purpose product is worth it's production costs these days.
