The Lunchbox: Banana Bread Day
Today is Banana Bread Day. I gave a few of my memories about the day on the show, but how about another alternate approach? Let’s talk about world commerce for a second. If you have bananas, where did they come from? Where were they grown? How did they make it to you? Isn’t it amazing

The Lunchbox Interview: Lori Quick, Nicholas Gibeault, John Doucette (Heavy Metal Art Zone)
We throw out too much stuff. Technology is a wonderful thing, and the pace of invention is incredible, but it has a dark side: waste. A phone bought brand new today may only have a useable lifetime of a few years. A desktop computer might be obsolete in 5 years, and your TV is reinvented every year.

The Lunchbox: Random Acts of Kindness (For Yourself & Others)
Today, it is suggested that we take two contradictory ideas and put them together: do things for others, and do them for ourselves as well. Pick some things that you want to do, and do them. Then pick a few things you can do for others, and do those. Assert yourself, but remember others. Act

The Lunchbox 2015-02-12: Lost Penny Day
What did you overlook today?
