Behavior
:
I cycle to work now and volunteer on the weekends
:
The idea occurred to me recently to try to start cycling from home to work instead of taking the train. I realized that I could get exercise instead of paying for the gym. I would be saving money, more so now that the subway fares have gone up, and I would be helping the environment since the carbon footprint of a cyclist is so small. The part that didn't seem so economically sound was buying a new bike, but hopefully it can pay for itself.
Also, I start to volunteer on the weekends with New York Cares if only because I want to assist someone who might be in a worse situation than myself and it makes me feel better about myself.
