organic milk in a nonrecyclable tetra-pak carton, or non-organic milk in a recyclable #1 plastic bottle?
there's so many reasons i'd rather buy organic milk, but it really bugs me that i can't recycle the cartons :-(

Forgive me if I'm ignorant, but I don't drink milk (and he buys it rarely, and always in a plastic carton), and we can't recycle plastic here anyway. And by "here" I mean "within a thousand miles" afaik.
I'm assuming tetra-pak is that rectangular carton that doesn't require refrigeration until opened?

If you're buying your organic milk at a place like Whole Foods, it is worth asking them to carry milk in glass bottles if they can find it. The ones in my area do now, after people I know asked them to.
If I had to choose between the options you listed, I would buy the organic milk in the nonrecyclable box.
