1st May 2007 News article filed by BNP news team Strange but true, British taxpayers, who face losing their weekly rubbish collection, are funding nightly dustbin rounds on the remote Galapagos Islands. The dustbin rounds on the South American islands are being financed by the European Union, to whom the UK pays £10.5billion annually. The EU says that tourism on the Galapagos has increased dramatically, and the majority of those are from western Europe. It claims that the EU is helping the Galapagos set up an "integrated waste management system". The Galapagos Islands charge tourists a £50 fee before they leave the airport, as a payment for entering the national park. With so much money coming in from visiting tourists, the Islands should be able to pay for their own rubbish collections.
