3. East Coast Citizens Organizations or ECCO aims to promote awareness, responsibility and activism in environmental matters among citizens along Chennai’s East Coast Road.

Just twenty years ago Besant Nagar and Tiruvanmiyur were sweet watered, clean, spacious neighbourhoods. Look at them today and you can see the future that awaits all villages south. Between peoples’ migration, rapidly growing commercial establishments and little awareness of laws, that future might in fact be racing towards us.

Issues of water conservation, waste management and noise and other pollutions should engage all concerned citizens along the ECR. ECCO is an organisation conceived to bring together such citizens.

ECCO has also been working for helping the people of the area who were affected by the Tsunami. ECCO is completely focussed on helping the Tsunami affected and has no overheads.
