A group of artists and scientists in Ohio have figured out how to take the acid waste from coal mines that pollutes streams and kills watersheds and convert the toxins into pigment for paints.

So clever! Some moms in Ohio created an app for sharing babysitting services. Neighborhood moms (dads, too?) already who know each other are grouped in "villages." They trade babysitting services for points that can be used for...babysitting services! They're just getting started, but there's some serious investor interest. Go Komae!
