Start the Office Fruit Bowl

How often do you take fruit to work and not eat it? You might forget, not have time or maybe its just not ripe enough. The more times you throw that piece of fruit in your bag and carry it around, the more likely its going to be bruised or smooched and you probably won’t eat it anyway, right? You may even be left with a nasty mess to clean up. Instead, why not start the office fruit bowl.  Its simple, get a bowl and leave it in the coffee room or anywhere else that may be convenient. Then start adding your unwanted fruit to it.  There are several perks that go along with starting and maintaining this ritual.

1. You and your co-workers won’t be wasting fruit.

2. It adds some colour to the room.

3. You’ll be more likely to grab and orange or an apple instead of hitting up the vending machine or other nearby sources of unhealthy food.

4. People will love you for it and you will feel that love even if they don’t know it was you who started the trend. Its amazing how much happier some people are when they are full.

5. You may even save some money, depending on hoe the giving and taking balances out.

If you start the fruit bowl trend, you may want to keep an eye on it and make sure that any excessively damaged fruit gets tossed before it goes bad and contaminates the rest of the bowl.
