Inhabitat has been running a amazing series called Green Building 101.  Today, the series got ultra-ecogeeky with their Design Innovation segment.  They list the top 10 eco-innovations for green living and I wanted to share them.  
 
1. Living roofs and facades
2. Building-integrated photovoltaics
3. Light emitting diodes
4. Organic light emitting diodes
5. Rain water and grey water
6. Electrochromic Glass
7. Energy monitoring devices
8. Sunlight Transport
9. Structural insulated panels
10. Insulated daylight panels. 
 
On the whole, I find each of these innovations very cool and very necessary.  All of them (except OLED's) are available to consumers right now, and each of them have a strong place in the future of a sustainable world.
