Solar Ivy
It's not often that an idea as sexy as Solar Ivy comes along, but Samuel and Teresita Cochran, St. Louis natives now living in Brooklyn, started Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology (SMIT) which offers design-worthy sustainable solar energy to buildings of all types and configurations. Clusters of custom-colored "ivy leaves" collect sunlight, provide shade, and can generate enough power to cool an average home at a price of $7-10 a leaf.
