When shopping for a new cutting board, the best eco-choice is also the best chef's choice: bamboo. Bamboo cutting boards are made out of the fast-growing grass, but are as tough as hardwood. While slicing and dicing away on bamboo boards, they're also kinder to your knives because they don't dull the blades.

Stocking up on wines at the liquor store can lead to lots of plastic and paper bag waste. Each bottle needs to be wrapped in paper, and then they are all placed inside a plastic bag. Instead, use a cardboard box that wine is shipped in to carry your vino, or invest in a special reusable tote bag designed for wine. The canvas tote bag has individual compartments designed to hold each bottle safely, so you can carry six bottles home with zero waste.

The quicker way? Place it in the freezer overnight to literally freeze the germs and bacteria to death, giving it a fresh smell the next day.
