Keep your car smelling fresh and clean with a homemade air freshener. Fill a large tea strainer with charcoal (the kind for the grill) or dried lavender. Charcoal is a natural deodorizer, so it will absorb foul fragrances. When it's left in a warm car, lavender will perfume the air with a soothing and pleasing scent. This is a healthy alternative to artificial chemical car fresheners.

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.
