As a keen gardener, Ethel was hoping to produce some good quality compost from her compost bin while reducing the amount of organic material going into her household bin. You can reduce your waste by composting your garden and kitchen Ethel said:‘While the organic waste was breaking down, it was quite a slow process initially and I felt waste. Compost is produced when your garden and kitchen waste that I needed some help’. is broken down in the presence of air. In May 2005 Ethel attended a short course on home composting run by the council. Ethel added: ‘Not only did I learn about how to compost more effectively but I also learned where home composting fits into the bigger picture.

Each profile provides indicators for a range of health outcomes (e.g. life expectancy, mortality, hospitalisation) and health determinants (e.g. smoking levels, breastfeeding, income, employment, crime, education). These profiles build on the success of both the 2004 community health profiles published by NHS Health Scotland (www.scotpho.org.uk/communityprofiles), and of the ‘Let Glasgow Flourish’ report published by GCPH in April 2006 (www.gcph.co.uk/content/view/17/34/). Whilst these sources continue to be useful, there has been recognition of the need for more up-to-date health data and for information pertaining to the new Community Health (and Care) Partnership (CH(C)P) administrative structures.
