North American’s tend to waste a lot, even when it comes down to food. The grocers waste, restaurants waste and we waste.  The idea machine, Amanda Blyth, share her thoughts with us about turning wasted food back into rich soil to feed our food!!! We love hearing from you Amanda keep it up and that $10,000 could be yours!!!

Idea Title:
Composted Soil Amendment

From:
Amanda Blyth in Kamloops

Idea Summary:
Food waste recycled from around the city to make a nutritious addition
to your garden!

Idea Description:
Currently in Whistler, “Whistler Composting” collects food waste from hospitality grocery stores, land clearing and biosolids, which is then composted to make a good quality soil amendment (http://www.carneyswaste.com/commercial_services/composting_soils.html). Therefore instead of the waste being thrown out its sold as an additive to soil for your garden!

I think this is a great idea and Kamloops should bring it into play. In addition to getting food waste from grocery stores etc. the city should supply bins (your choice whether you have one or not since some people compost already) that you can leave out with your garbage and recycling that you can fill with your composting. Then when the city comes once a week, they pick that up and compost it for you! The additive can then be bought at a local store, from the company that does the composting (which will also need started!) and the city office if needed.

We recycle paper, why not food waste?

In today’s world of technology, there are many personal items to keep track of throughout the day. You have a cell phone, camera, keys, iPod, wallet maybe a even a tablet!! Misplacing these items is never fun. Amanda’s big idea makes it possible for us to track where we place these things!! Thank-you Amanda for your contribution we always appreciate it!! Good luck, Canada day will come faster than you think!!

Idea Title:
Remote “Finder”

From:
Amanda Blyth in Kamloops

Idea Summary:
A button operated, customizable, lost item finder!

Idea Description:
Do you constantly misplace things such as your cell phone, the TV remote, or your car keys? I know I do.

Some telephones nowadays have a finder button on the deck of the phone, which when pressed sets off a beeping sound to help you find where your phone has magically run off to.

It would be neat if there was a universal device that was created that you could attach and use to find any item of your choice. Kind of like an automatic car un-locker, you could create one similar but instead
have different colored buttons all over it, like red, blue, yellow, green, and orange. The product could come with custom stickers that say things such as “Cell”, “phone”, “keys”, “remote”,
etc. and maybe some blank ones for your own custom description. When someone purchases the device, they can label each colored button with a desired item. Coming with this device would be removable buttons
that you could stick on each of the items that you wish to run on this device, so for example, you stick the blue button on your cell phone, and then on your device label the button “Cell” and so on. That way if you were to misplace something all you have to do is press the color that represents the item and it will trigger that identical colored button that is located on the item you’ve chosen.

This would make losing things a lot less frustrating!

CMDC Comments:
The thing about the idea stage as an entrepreneur is that if you have a good idea someone else is either thinking the same thing, has thought about it, or is already doing it! While searching for an appropriate photo for this submission Amanda I came across a product on Amazon.com which is described very similarly to what you were thinking of, check it out!

At Race to a Million we try to be environmentally conscious, from the coffee we drink to the t-shirts we give away for this contest. During the Christmas season many people forget to follow some basic conscientious principles regarding the environment. In fact Christmas can sometimes promote a lot of unnecessary consumption including the tree’s we put up in our houses. We cut down tree after tree after tree and Steve Rollheiser has an environmentally conscious solution for that!! Thanks for your submission Steve your t-shirt has been sent!! Good luck on winning that $10,000!!!!!!

Idea Title:
Christmas Tree Hugger

From:
Steven Rollheiser in Kamloops BC

Idea Summary:
“rent out” live evergreens in pots for Christmas trees, give partial credit for return of healthy trees, store them until spring then resells them for planting.

Idea Description:
The group contracts bulk purchase of 4-5′ evergreens in pots for 20-25$ each, partners with school groups, parent advisory groups, non-profits etc to presell trees for say $60 for Christmas trees, then delivers them, and if purchaser wants, picks them up early in New Year- stores them until springtime in semi-sheltered area to protect the now non-dormant trees from freezing, then resells the returned trees to City of Kamloops (or whatever) for their treeplanting program. The original tree purchasers can keep the tree, or return for partial credit if tree is alive and well.
Essential partnerships: tree farm
Schools, Parent advisory groups, City of Kamloops (as end-purchasers at original bulk-buy price) non-profit groups to front money, deliver, pick up and store trees, some corporation or organization with space to store live trees (under shelter, not necessarily heated, no fire risk)

If this sold 5,000 trees and realized a $20 profit each, that’s $100,000. Lots of kids in town to promote to parents, serves the environment, shared profits with schools, Parent Advisory Groups serves educational support needs, mutually beneficial partnership with municipality is a win-win. Corporation could get a tax write off for donating storage space. Tree farm sells lots of live trees. Good likelihood for repeat annual business- last time I checked, Xmas comes every year. As long as costs reasonably competitive with your regular ‘throw-away’ tree, easy to promote as a green alternative. Offer discounts for repeat/early purchasers. Solicit Municipal support for sales, local media, try to get the whole community behind the idea, could have significant growth potential. Volunteers needed to deliver/collect trees, maybe check them re ?watering during storage etc, altho if they could be made to go dormant again after being inside for the 10-14 days of the Christmas season, might not need much upkeep until planting time.

Not everyone is naturally good at golfing. That’s why we practice, because practice makes perfect.This is an idea where practice meets practicality. Bryan Wickham submitted this idea about a shade umbrella you can use to practice chipping! Bryan your t-shirt is on its way and we’ve submitted an entry for you to win that big $10,000!!!!! Who knows maybe you’ll WIN BIG and take your prototypes further than you dreamed!!!

Idea Title:
Umbrachipin (umbrella and golfing practise aid)

From:
Bryan Wickham in Kamloops BC

Idea Summary:
An umbrella that doubles as a practice target for chipping and putting.

Idea Description:
One piece of equipment that is common with all golfers is the umbrella. The umbrella that I designed has the ability to be inverted, forming a “cup”. On the top and the bottom are pockets. The top pocket is for chipping practice, and the bottom for putting practice.

So when you are waiting to tee off, or at home in your backyard, you can use this umbrella to assist in sharpening your short game.

In today’s society, where news broadcasters and newspapers deliver nothing but tragedy to your doorstep, it’s hard to see the good in the world. However random acts of kindness happen all the time ever day. Whether we see them or not, do them or don’t do them, choose to broadcast them or not to broadcast them, they still happen. From Cambridge Ontario, Jeanette chooses to see the good and hopes to one day reward it. And with this submission we hope to reward you Jeanette for your wonderful input!!! We’ve sent you a t-shirt and entered you into the BIG $10,000 draw!!! If you haven’t heard of it yet, check out our Thanks a  Million card!!!

Idea Title:
Random Acts of Kindness

From:
Jeanette Richards from Cambridge Ontario

Idea Summary:
To show people that we do live in a loving society and that it’s not all that they see on their news stations or read in the papers.

Have people report random acts of kindness and follow up those stories to find out the 5 W’s
I’d love to hear local stories of people caring for and looking out for each other. There are some of us who actively live our lives making the lives of the people around us better, lets find out just how much of that goes on on a regular basis, I bet you we’d surprise ourselves, and what a good feeling that would give people, it might even start spreading.

Idea Description:
So, we just send out a bulletin to all radio station across our nation that we are calling all angels.

All the people who on a regular basis do for others as they would like done to them, I think that we should honor each and every one of them.

Find out if there’s something they would like for themselves and whether it is that they need some plumbing done or a vacation cause they have never had one, lets get the people they have done acts of kindness for to pull together their resources to make this happen for him/her

Message:
We could approach local business’s and perhaps have a travel agency donate a trip and even have a local plumber donate his time to install him a new sink

It could be as easy as getting he and his wife a babysitter so they can have a night out which hasn’t happened in years.

What I’m saying is I know that there are many business’s who would sponsor to help an angel of kindness, we have several I could think of, RIM, TOYOTA, BUDDS.

Lets use the Kiss method and not make it a huge deal.

Even if a random act of kindness doesn’t make the show we should have a place on the website for this show where people can report the acts they know of, sort of an honourable mention to acknowledge their importance.

The commercial transport industry is a big one, and it demands big transport vehicles! From planes to trains we ship in mass amounts and we have to ship it fast. This revolutionary idea about Wing in Ground courier’s is from Jonathan Anthony who has submitted many great ideas already!! Thank-you Jonathan for your support and input!!

Idea Title:
Wing in Ground effect Courier and Transport Service

Idea Summary:
Wing in Ground effect aircraft may not be well known yet but they are machines capable of carrying much larger cargo loads than equivalent sized aircraft but are restricted to much lower altitudes. Often they’re amphibious (built to take off from and land from water) making them the perfect means of high speed transportation for island hopping and coastal transport in hard to reach places.

Idea Description:
Conventional airplanes gain lift from their wings creating a low pressure zone under the wing and a higher pressure zone over the wing. The air under the wing moves faster and keeps the plane in the air. Ground effect is the opposite and works by having the wing create a high pressure zone under the aircraft body so that it rides on a cushion of air like a hovercraft but without the need for a rubber skirt.

Although typical commercially available vehicles of this nature only operate at a cruising altitude of around 3 meters (flight control becomes sluggish at higher altitudes) the Soviet Union was able to recycle many old cargo planes by converting them to ground effect vehicles used for high military transport in the Black and Caspian Sea. Their original designs were intended to cruise at 3 meters but were found to be most efficient at 20 meters with a top speed of 300 knots or about 560km/h. Some research craft made it as high as 400 knots or 740 km/h.

Imagine a fast happy medium between gas guzzling jumbo jets and slow lumbering sea faring cargo ships.

Imagine something that would make hard to reach communities accessible and change the waterways.

There is slow but growing use of these craft in Japan, Germany, Austrailia, America, and probably more. The German coast guard is rumored to have a few of them in use that are capable of over 200 knots. In that application speed can save lives.

Business Idea:
A coastal shipping and transport company using ground effect vehicles to minimize transport effect on marine habitats, reduce fuel consumption, and make isolated coastal and island communities more accessible to improve their quality of living. Shipments will arrive far faster than by boat and far cheaper with far less fuel than by conventional aircraft.

The catch? One would probably need a million dollars to start this business unless you were able to purchase just one or two ground effect aircraft and start a small operation for 250-500 thousand Can it be feasible? If buying a rig for the same price can be part of a feasible business plan despite todays high fuel costs then absolutely.

Licensing catches? I’m not sure what piloting license is required for these craft in Canada and what the Canadian government classifies them as. Marine vehicle or Aircraft. In the United States they’ve been classified as marine vehicles and only require a regular boaters license to operate them.

Operational catch: even if you can acquire a craft that operates at a slightly higher cruising altitude so you can fly in rougher seas you still have to be able to land and take off from those seas. Your business plan may at times be subject to the will of El Nino which is Spanish for…. The Nino, according to Chris Farley.

Message:
I doubt I’ll ever have the money to start this business myself so here it is! It’s also not my passion to run a shipping and receiving business so even if I could run it the business would never “take off”.

Running a house hold is like a full time job, there’s the cooking and the cleaning and the washing and the organizing and the list goes on and on! From washing machines to self cleaning ovens, we continue to try and make running a home easier and more efficient. Amanda Blyth, once again, is taking house hold appliances one step further, one step better, one step cleaner. You can almost smell the rubber bands on that $10 000 can’t you Amanda? Thank you for your submission once again!!

Idea Title:
Self-Cleaning Microwave

From:
Amanda Blyth in Kamloops BC

Idea Summary:
A Microwave that cleans itself (for the most part if not entirely).

Idea Description:
How many of us want to microwave our lunch, at home or at work and when we open the microwave it’s disgusting because someone didn’t care to take the time to cover their food and it sprayed everywhere!

A microwave oven that is self-cleaning needs to be invented. It may need a wipe down afterwards but atleast it could moisten all the chunkies and stains (some sort of steam feature) and maybe even use some sort of environmentally friendly cleaning agent to break it down so that it’s as easy as wiping it away OR better yet, it could have a filter that could absorb/suck in any particles that are lying loose – this might be a tricky part but once conquered, maybe ALL appliances could be self-cleaning!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Idea to everyone!

In this BIG Ideas Video Peter and Dean discuss submitting to the BIG IDEAS form on Race To A Million and some feedback (AND IDEAS) from Peter’s daughter Heather Cameron-Inglis. Are there people out there that seem a little reluctant to submit their ideas?  You bet there are! Are they holding onto their ideas? Yes! Why might that be? Heather Cameron-Inglis shed a little light on why this might be for us to share.

Some of the ideas might be from more than one person… can people submit ideas as groups or couples? The answer is yes! Please do! Perhaps you have a team of your own and are following along with the show trying to create some masterminding and entrepreneurial business yourselves. That would be great and we’d love you to submit on behalf of a group or even if you’re doing it with a friend!

Some people might also be thinking … If I submit my idea I might win $10,000 but if I keep my idea to myself then I won’t have to share it with anyone and I could make millions … to that we say … If you don’t submit your idea and you never get around to doing it … you’ll have nothing BUT even if you’re scared of losing it … email Dean and Peter at info@racetoamillion.ca with your thoughts and maybe we can help … that’s what we are here for!

Watch the video to hear a couple of ideas from Peter’s daughter, Heather, which include an iPhone application for “breaking the ice” in a conversation and an expansion of Team Alpha and Team TRU’s mosaic project idea to help with a problem that high school graduates are currently facing.

This is what Dan Stoddart calls an open market and it’s definitely an idea worth one of our stylish Race to a Million t-shirt plus an entry into the $10,000 dollar draw in July of 2011. This idea brings together modern store front shops with the old fashion “flea market” feel, good job Dan, keep up the creative thinking!!!!

Idea Title:
Community year round open market

From:
Dan Stoddart from Osoyoos

Idea Summary:
Using one of the empty large footage buildings in the south Okanagan, theme the inside to match the early days (1920′s) in a street scene. Split it into small store footage for the full time entrepreneur to start his/her business in a low overhead setting with a concourse area available for community functions.

Idea Description:
Buy-Low in Oliver is 20,000 square feet break it into a horseshoe with booths surrounding a common area. Would be the close to Granville Island’s idea that would offer a destination for tourists while allowing for affordable footage for the new serious business over.

Message:
Have a full set of plans drawn up for this

CMDC Comments:
We love the idea Dan, it reminds us of an indoor year round “flea market”, it would be a good place for a home based business or fund raising group to get some exposure. Along with that it’s something that can give back to the community.

In business, or even in life, we will face many challenges. Over coming them builds character and pushes you to grow. However no one does it alone, we can all use a hand from time to time. Amanda Blyth brought us this idea’s about something that could lend you a hand, literally.

Idea Summary:
A door handle attachement that allows you to easily shut the door!

Idea Description:
When my mom leaves for work in the morning she’s finding it hard to close the door with out slamming it as she’s got her gloves on and of course those who are sleeping in the house while the door gets slammed aren’t too happy!

What needs to be invented for these people as well as for people with arthritis who have trouble grasping the door knob also is some sort of handle that can be attached to the door knob that they can grab and pull that will pull the door closed.

It could be as simply as cutting one of those plastic holders on 6-packs of pop so that it only has two holes and then placing that on the door so that the other loop hangs below the door and can be grabbed onto to assist in shutting the door. The problem with the door knob for those with arthritis is that its hard to grab onto it and pull it with enough force to get the door to close. If they simply had a loop to pull it would be alot easier on their joints!

Very easy, yet very helpful design. Ask my mom and she’ll tell you that it can be very frustrating getting the door closed easily while keep those sleepers happy!

Shorter travel time has always been in our best interest. Humans have continually worked towards traveling a further distance in a shorter time. Along with making faster vehicles we also try to make them safer. We make them safer because sometimes the rules of the road just can’t be followed. Jonathan believes that a driving school with a higher level of education will put safer drivers in our faster vehicles. It’s a great idea, definitely one worth a free Race to a Million t-shirt and an entry into the $10,000 dollar draw!!! Submit your your idea today and you could have a chance to win the $10,000 dollars as well!!!!

Idea Title:
Driver training – Canada’s worst driver style

Idea Summary:
We’ve all seen the courses Canada’s worst drivers get put through to test their learning on the show. Capitalizing on the popularity of the life saving show why not start a driving school that teaches drivers the fundamentals of handling a car, rather than just how to follow the rules of the road.

Idea Description:
Current driving schools do us a service but only teach us so much. Current driving legislation really does little to train individuals how to safely operate their vehicle other than just teaching them to obey the road signs and know which turn lane to use.

This leaves room for a business to lease or purchase a rural plot of land or build onto an old speedway for their life saving driver training courses. This would include courses for hands on driving instruction to teach the fundamentals of driving and physics. Simple but life saving lessons like how to know where your wheels are and look where you want to go.

For new drivers, wouldn’t they feel safer driving knowing they weren’t just a licensed driver but they also had hands on experience avoiding collisions, recovering from skids, etc. New drivers would have the opportunity to gain confidence behind the wheel before hitting the busy roads.

Many mature drivers would also benefit.

Message:
In my opinion when living in a land as large as Canada driving is more of a necessary life skill that should be part of our regular secondary education system. Our current driver training doesn’t do enough to prepare us for the variety of terrain and whether you will encounter across this great country. Lets save some lives and reduce insurance costs with a new level of safe driver training inspired by the ever amusing show, Canada’s worst driver.

Lets talk names,everything has a has one but where it comes from is usually out of your control. Victoria Weller has a plan to change the way that we name streets, and on getting a street named after you! Thank-you Victoria for the wonderful idea, you will be receiving a stylish Race to a Million t-shirt along with an entry into the $10, 000 dollar draw!!!!

Idea title:
Name Your Street

From:
Victoria Weller from Kamloops BC

Idea summary:
Submit family name to municipality or rural community planner as a new street name.

Idea Description:
Instead of having an arbitrarty name like Ravenwood Court as a new street name in a residential area, why not have the ability to submit a family name for a street name. There would be a cost to submit a name which would be an additional revenue stream for city. First come first serve. City would have authority to approve the name. No stupid ones. So WELLER could be a street.

Message:
To alleviate only names of ‘richer’ persons, every year, a certain amount of names would be selected from those who said they could not afford to pay. Must provide proof of lower income.
