If sipping lemonade underneath a tree in a swaying hammock is your idea of a lazy weekend afternoon, then this is for you. Choose a hammock-friendly spot and hang up a recycled plastic hammock. Gaiam (gaiam.com) sells a rope version that looks like a conventional hammock, but is actually made from 100 percent recycled plastic soda bottles. (The bottles are collected from curbside recycling, finely chopped and re-spun into rope.) It's nearly impossible to tell the difference between the green version and non-eco one. And because it's plastic, it's more water-resistant and less likely to soil or develop mold.

I love finding new uses for old things and that includes all the splurges I've made on infomercial products. Grab that George Foreman Grill and repurpose it to grill fresh fruit. Imagine halved peaches, warmed on the grill and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!

Grilling corn on the cob but don't have holders to keep fingers protected? Look to the backyard: Clip fresh twigs and sharpen them in a pencil sharpener. Insert the twigs into the ends of the corn and you've got instant holders. When you're finished, just toss the sticks back into the yard.
