Speed up my pineapples ripening?

Question:
Is there any way to speed up my pineapples ripening?

Its currently yellow on the bottom, and green through out just below the midline, and all above,

also, how do i tell ... if my pineapple is ready?

I was told when its yellow throughout,

Thank You Very Much : )
Answer:
You can speed ripening of fruit by placing it in a brown paper bag along with a banana and leaving it at room temperature. The banana releases a large amount of ethylene gas (all fruit does but bananas much more so than others) which will speed the ripening. Just keep an eye on it because this way can make it go from ripe to rotten quite quickly.
