I know there are people who have done a version of this already, but let's make it a big deal. A national contest for college and other developers to create algorithms/apps that generate fair and sensible voting districts. $10 million dollar reward for the winning team/individual.

PlastiCloth from Woven Plastic Bags
Use plastic shopping bags as "threads" or "fibers" in weaving PlastiCloth. Twist them, weave them, and create a durable, colorful, recycled new "cloth" for use in handbags, accessories, clothing, art, and as insulation in warm clothes, quilts, and blankets.
