Turning over a new leaf

For you

• Try swapping your tasteless white loaf of bread for a delicious fibre packed granary version.
• Swap your refined table salt for our delicious Turnham Green flavoured salt.
• Reach for an organic dark chocolate bar rather than the other nonsense you find on the shelves.
• Put a litre bottle of water on your desk at work and make sure you finish it by the end of the day.
• Try taking the time to actually savour and chew your food rather than gulping it down in a few seconds.
• Actually hit your 5 a day fresh fruit and veg target every day.
• Find out more about optimum nutrition at www.patrickholford.com
• Start cooking again - sign up to a cookery course or if cooking is not your bag and you really want to improve your diet have a look at what The Pure Package could do for you. 
• Get off the bus/tube a stop early and walk.
• Make time to relax - have a bath with your Turnham Green bath salts or schedule a massage.
• Give up smoking once and for all - patches, self-help books and hypnotherapy are a great way to support your will power.

For others

• Rediscover your local shops.
• Find your local farmers’ market or organic box scheme.
• Decide on your favourite charity for the year and gift aid some cash to them.
• Organise a party for all those people you have been “Facebooking” and actually catch up face to face!
• Send a postcard to that great Aunt or god child who would love to hear from you.
• Really think about your shopping habits – where are your favourite products being made and do you think the price you are paying is getting to the “right” people?
• If you are going on holiday to the developing world don't bring all your clothes with you - buy them locally and donate them to a local charity before you head home.

For the environment

• Turn off the lights when you leave a room.
• Boil just enough water to suit your requirements.
• Turn off your appliances at the mains.
• Put some insulation tape around those draughty windows.
• Buy some clothes pegs and switch off your tumble dryer.
• Turn the heating down and put on another jumper – or hop into bed earlier!
• Call a plumber to finally fix that leaky old tap.
• Turn down any unnecessary plastic bags when you are out shopping.
• Buy a bike (and helmet) and hit the road!
• Turn the TV off and read a book – or have a chat.
• Plug in some energy efficient light bulbs.
• Start composting - or buy a wormery.
• Buy a recycling bin and fill up your recycling bag – stop sending your rubbish off to be wasted at landfill sites when it can be recycled.
• Choose recycled or biodegradable products for your home including cleaning materials, paints, furniture…the list goes on!
• Wash your laundry at 30 not 40 degrees.
• Only run your dishwasher when it really is full.
