One way to save money on organic produce is to buy in-season and locally when it's in abundance. Not only is it at its cheapest, it's also at its peak flavor and freshness. When buying in abundance, try flash-freezing your organic haul so you have a stash you can use for months to come. Flash-freezing is simple: Dice the organic produce into manageable sizes and place on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze for a few hours and transfer the frozen organic produce into airtight freezer bags. When you need your organic produce, just bring the frozen bag out and let it thaw before using.

While taking a cross-country flight is not the greenest option to get from point A to point B, it is inevitable -- at least until solar-powered planes actually become a reality. Two ways to green your flight are to simply pack light, and choose a nonstop flight. The heavier the plane, the more fuel it uses, so bringing less with lighter suitcases actually goes a long way toward reducing the carbon footprint of the flight. A layover or connecting flight can add about 10 percent more to your carbon emissions, so going nonstop is a faster and greener way to go.

On average, the television and ancillary devices that go with it (DVD player, cable box, etc.) account for about 8 to 10 percent of a household's overall energy bill. One way to help cut electric waste is always make sure to turn the TV off when it's not being used. But one not-so-obvious tip is to reduce the brightness of the television. By going to the settings function and reducing the brightness level, you can help make your TV more energy-efficient. Most manufacturers pre-set their TVs with the highest brightness setting possible. A simple switch can help you save money without any real noticeable difference in viewing quality.
