If you're in the market for a new computer, think laptop over desktop. A laptop computer uses up to one-third less energy than a desktop. Newer laptops feature even bigger environmental savings, including LED-lit screens, which are free of harmful mercury. Look for laptops that are Energy Star certified. And be sure to recycle your old computer whenever you buy a new one. RadioShack will appraise the recycling value of your old PC or Mac and give you a gift card for its value on the spot.

When you're done eating a ripe, organic banana, don't toss the peel -- give a boost to your rosebushes instead. Plants like roses love the beneficial potassium nutrients found in banana peels. Simply dig a small hole by your the bush, insert the peels and cover. In no time, it will decompose into compost for your roses.

With advancements in dishwasher technology and automatic dishwashing tablets, the detergents and machines actually need dirty dishes. The detergent is designed to attack grime and grease; clean pots and pans mean the detergent will attack the cookware more aggressively, leaving it scratched or cloudy. Just scrape off baked-on food and start the machine.
