    My other tips: - Start incorporating thrift, consignment & second-hand clothes in your wardrobe (host a clothing swap w/ friends for a no-spend option) - Walk, bike, & use public transit more often - Bring your own bag/coffee mug. It’s okay if you forget, 1x/week is still a win

    Spent tonight w/ workers in the Bronx organizing for better work. Did you know that the spray painted neon on NYC roads mark gas lines & other critical areas? Those skilled workers are paid little, & can be on call 24h w/ little sleep. Does that sound safe to you?
