I sit them on a window ledge in the sun. Have been doing it this way for years. Works quite well.

Methane ripens fruit, e.g. the tomato. Bananas give off a surprising amount of methane, so keep your unripe fruit in a bowl with bananas and it should sort itself out.

Put them in a drawer or some similar arrangement (shoeboxes?), with one or two ripe tomatoes, which give off pheremones and speed ripening.
Don't do as I did one year and put them in a sealed container as above. I got back from a weekend away to find they had sweated in the warm kitchen and were ruined! They need to be able to breathe.

Put them in a paper sack. in a cool place and they will ripen though out the fall as you need them.. check them often so that they aren't rotting or they will rot the whole bag full..

Put them in the window next to a banana as a banana will give off gases that make things ripen quicker!!!

Put them on the window sill or give up and make green tomato chutney - delicious and of use all year round.
