Keeping Chennai's Beaches Clean

What We Do

Namma Beach Namma Chennai (NBNC) is a non-profit organization that works to help clean beaches. Our goal is to ensure that all beaches in Chennai are clean and that the people of Chennai are more careful in the way they dispose of their waste. We do this by placing trash cans around beaches, allowing visitors to throw away any garbage there instead of on the beach.

From there, we have grown into a much larger group of individuals motivated to keep Chennai clean through beach clean up events and educational activities targeting community schools. Our organization has also worked with children to create awareness on how waste disposal and encourage others to help clean up beaches.

Our goal is to encourage behavioral change and create awareness around the need to conserve our environment. We aim to bring together different schools, implement healthier learning conditions and enlarge the mind-set of all people involved.

    What drives us

    Our oceans are under threat from rising water levels due to climate change and from the increased pollution from plastic. It is important for us to understand the role the ocean plays in our daily lives. Did you know that the air we breathe is produced by the ocean? The ocean produces over half of the world's oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. It also plays a major part in climate regulation. Covering 70 percent of the Earth's surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns. In short, if there is no ocean, there is no life as we know it on our planet. It is of absolute importance that we pay attention and preserve the health of this vital element that lets us live and breathe comfortably.
