Green 'Bribes' Costing Scottish Taxpayers £8 Million

Daily Express
"TAXPAYERS have been hit with an £8million bill for a new raft of bizarre green projects, including a “real nappy project” and environmental tips for Scotland’s Nepalese ­community.While thousands of families struggle through the worst recession in living memory, ministers have unveiled a package of grants for a new wave of eco-friendly projects worth millions of pounds.Public money will be used to pay for schemes including £84,000 worth of “eco drama productions”, £50,000 to provide energy-saving tips to ­Hindus in Edinburgh and more than £80,000 for a scheme to encourage people in the East End of Glasgow to grow their own vegetables."
