Milkweed Mercantile, a green B&B, cafe and general store located in Dancing Rabbit (an eco villiage in Missouri) is throwing in their hat at ideablob.com. ideablob is giving away $10,000 to the idea with the most votes. So, what is MM planning to do with the ten grand if the win it? They plan to power their strawbale building with both solar and wind power, keeping the building off the grid.

So, hop on over to their idea blob and cast your vote! (You do need to register, but there’s no need to give them any contact info other than your e-mail.) http://ideablob.com/ideas/3233-Strawbale-off-grid-business-ope

(btw, I’ve also added a link to their idea blob to my strawbale lens. Scroll down a bit, it’s highlighted with a light yellow background.)
