Bikes and rain. Somehow it seems you always need to have an extra plastic bag with you to avoid a wet bum. Particularly when someone has slashed your seat and the now exposed foam soaks up all the rain water to bless you with later on when all other rain has dried up. A type of bike seat tape to repair slashes and cuts in the seat would do miracles!
Google maps, or a similar platform that includes a time bar so you can decide at which year (or even date?) You would like to look at. Whether its satellite, street view or schematics it would be cool to see previous data and explore the world in 2011, 2008, 1920, 1250 and maybe even an indication of 500 BC?
.. whether there’s a correlation between a country’s borders containing straight (planned) lines, and perhaps how young their independence is.
Food waste is a huge problem in modern society, especially from college cafeterias and other places that make hot foods. So, engineering a way to distribute said leftovers, perishable and non-perishable to the homeless and shelters.
Awesome concept Elliot.
Daniel Bovell made an illustration and here's the featured blogpost!

Encouraging homeless people to get a badge/ID card that validates their status, allowing them to ask for any leftover food items at restaurants & grocery stores. Perhaps this badge could also let them apply for jobs with that status, and lead them down a path of opportunities and jobs once more businesses hop on board the badge-benefits program. What do you guys think? How could the homeless be incentivized to re-enter society? #homeless #society
Sarah! This is such a good idea. I wonder if it would need to be like a filler glue and then a tape patch of some sort. Anyway, hope it becomes a thing someday. :) #transportation #bikes
