Publisher's Synopsis
Winning at Winter is full of little ideas that will help you make winter much easier.We have given you a blank calendar to fill in with daily actions. You can fill it in by hand or you can cut out and stick ready made actions for each day. Making your own personalised calendar. The days of the week are themed and each theme has a list of actionable ideas for you to try. Each action will help you make a small difference to your life and the world. Slow and steady wins the race. Don't feel you need to pack the week with things to do. Having just one action for the week will move you further forward than filling up every day with 20 things you will never do.Use the weekend to celebrate what you have done.These four weeks give you a chance to try something new. Pick activities you are interested in because you want to do them, not because you think you should. You might find something you love doing, you might find some of the ideas don't work well for you. As long as you give some of these things a go, we can guarantee you that at the end of the 4 weeks you will have made a difference to your life and been kinder to the planet.Daily themes: Make do Monday - save some money and make do with what you have.We have tried to make the activities and actions in this book possible with what you have around the house so you shouldn't need any special ingredients or materials. Make do Monday has recipes for using household ingredients as cleaning products. Instructions for easy things to mend and some great ideas for leftover food will help you start the week in a productive, money saving manner.Throw it Tuesday - recycle or donate something you no longer need, want or like.For the decluttering element get a cardboard box ready and put it somewhere you will not miss.

Just getting rid of a few things daily will really mount up.Waste Free Wednesday - try a different way to reduce your waste.Waste Free Wednesday has easy ways to avoid excess packaging and some great recipes for seasonal veg.
