Grilling corn on the cob but don't have holders to keep your 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.

Even if you're more of a bake-and-shake type of a cook, that doesn't mean your instant brownies and cupcakes can't be organic, too. Organic food has become so accessible that there are many convenient foods that are good for the planet and a cinch to make. Look for organic instant boxed mixes the next time you need to bake a sweet treat; not only are they organic and easy to make, but they often feature higher-quality ingredients that just might fool others into thinking you made chocolate cupcakes from scratch.

Skip the plastic sandwich bags when making a sandwich for lunch. Instead, choose from three options (ranked from greenest to easiest): a hard plastic lunch box, wax paper or aluminum foil. The lunch box is reusable over and over, but if you're forgetful, you'll probably lose it. If so, wrap sandwiches in biodegradable wax paper or recyclable aluminum foil. All are good choices; choose what's easiest for you and your PB&J.
