How Many Great Ideas...?

On May 25, 1961, President Kennedy issued a challenge to the American people: Land a man on the moon before decade's end. And Americans rose to the challenge with innovation, hard work, and self sacrifice unlike anything we've seen since.

Today, sadly, the American government doesn't inspire much today other than frustration and vitriol. We haven't solved the climate crisis. We are still chained to Big Oil. And what ever happened to reclaiming our position as the world's top educator?

So, into the inspiration void has stepped a not-so-unlikely predecessor to JFK: Google.

Today, one of America's most innovative, fast-moving companies issues a challenge for the world's entrepreneurs to send them the best of what they've got. Project 10 to the 100 is "a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible." Submissions are welcome in the categories of Community, Opportunity, Energy, Environment, Health, Education, and Shelter - and the winners (up to 5) split a $10 million top prize.

I don't know about you, but I'm inspired. Step back.
