U.S. taxpayers will be on the hook for $30 million in new cooperative grant funding to reduce plastic pollution in India, according to a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) posted by the United States Agency for International Development MIssion in India.
"The purpose of the activity is to reduce plastic pollution, including in the marine environment, through improvements in solid waste management and advancing a plastics circular economy in selected regions of India," according to the posted synopsis for the program, Innovations for Reducing Plastics for a Cleaner Environment in India (inREPLACE).
Under the terms of the grant's cooperative agreement the winning applicant will be responsible for raising $15 million, or 50% of the $30 million award amount from outside sources.
USAID/India will be partnering with India's government to address the issue of plastic pollution by "improving plastic and solid waste management planning, infrastructure, and services" and "addressing the life cycle impacts of plastics and other materials by promoting a circular economy," according to the project's thumbnail description.
"For this three-phased NOFO, the applicant is required to leverage 50% of the award amount from other sources, external to the United States Government," the posting explains.
"Plastic pollution from mismanaged municipal solid waste (MSW) has reached a crisis level in India and around the world, filling open dumps, being openly burned, clogging city drains, entering canals, streams, and rivers, and eventually leaking into the ocean," according to the program description provided by USAID/India in the accompanying background material.

Well if we kept manufacturing in America this wouldn’t be a problem since we actually had some laws about dumping garbage right into the ocean
You have defined the root of our problem.
About time we started helping Russia, rather than trying to go to war with them.
I’m tired of our government giving away money we don’t have. We print it, borrow it, and increase our debt to an incomprehensible level year after year.
Thirty million of unnecessary federal spending. Congress appropriated this money and now it will go on autopilot, increasing 7-8% a year. The budget is full of these items. Yet we are told the budget can’t be cut.
Give 10 halfway intelligent productive citizens the itemized federal budget and week of time to bring it into balance. You’ll see these spending items slashed and a balanced budget produced.
Globalists.
This is why the founding fathers enshrined the requirement to be a land owner to vote.
AMERICA IS FUELING THE NWO
Should have stayed that way.
Under the terms of the grant's cooperative agreement the winning applicant will be responsible for raising $15 million, or 50% of the $30 million award amount from outside sources.
How about raising 95% of the funds from outside sources? 100%? Why does any of the funding comes from the US government pointing a gun at its citizens?
