    Yes, place them in a brown paper bad with some ripe bananas. This works with just about any fruit. The ripe bananas exude ethylene gas, which is what ripens all fruits. All fruits emit ethylene gas to some degree, especially tomatoes, apples, pears and bananas.. which is why placing any of these in a brown paper bag with your avocados will speed up the ripening process :)

    Definitely. Get like, a brown bag (the ones for sack lunches) and place the avocado in the bag with one or two apples. You can also leave them out in the sunlight.

    Wrap them up in news papers and hide them somewhere dark, check 2 days later and they should be just fine.
