@goinstagood sparks change at Chennai's Blue Flag Marina Beach with "En Chennai En Perumai En Marina En Poruppu". Citizens rallied under Kuppai Thiruvila, launching reverse vending machines that swap plastic bottles for reusable bags amid daily waste wonders.

👉🏽Machines That Reward Heroes

Nine smart machines dot 2.7 km from Lighthouse to Anna Memorial, crushing bottles on-site near whale-shaped bins. Drop one in, grab an eco-bag—over 500 kg collected already! "It's our pride in action," beams volunteer Lakshmi, inspiring thousands to join.

👉🏽From Litter to Lasting Legacy

Mayor R. Priya's kickoff builds on GCC clean-ups, tackling 20+ tonnes of litter amid tourism booms. Upcycling stalls transform trash into art, echoing zero-waste festivals for a greener tomorrow.

👉🏽The Logical Indian Perspective

This citizen-tech harmony embodies empathy and coexistence, sparking real environmental change. We celebrate Chennai's blueprint for collective kindness.

⚡️⚡What small act will you take today to nurture your local beach's beauty and build community pride forever?

चेन्नईतील रहिवासी मरीना बीचवर "कचऱ्यातून मूल्य" या उपक्रमाद्वारे शाश्वत जीवनशैलीचा अवलंब करत आहेत. 'कुप्पाई थिरुविला'चा एक भाग म्हणून, नागरिक वापरलेल्या प्लास्टिकच्या बाटल्या स्मार्ट मशिनमध्ये जमा करू शकतात आणि त्याबदल्यात त्यांना पर्यावरणपूरक पिशव्या मिळतात. या उपक्रमाचा उद्देश प्लास्टिक प्रदूषण कमी करणे आणि कचऱ्याची जबाबदार विल्हेवाट लावून पर्यावरणविषयक जागरूकता वाढवणे हा आहे. तंत्रज्ञान आणि लोकसहभागाचा मेळ घालत, ही मोहीम समुद्रकिनारे स्वच्छ ठेवण्यासाठी आणि जनतेमध्ये शाश्वत सवयींना प्रोत्साहन देण्यासाठी एक व्यावहारिक आणि नाविन्यपूर्ण दृष्टिकोन अधोरेखित करते.

@Airaavan we found that the machine had been switched off manually — the power switch is located just above the unit and might have been turned off unintentionally. This led to the misunderstanding that the machine was “defunct.”

[Instagood @Goinstagood]

@kumarmanish9 The Secretariat machine was working on Aug 4. Someone had turned off the power switch above it. It’s not defunct — just needed to be turned back on. #FactCheck

@ranper7527 @supriyasahuias We’re a startup building smart vending machines for TN Govt to promote eco-friendly living. The Secretariat machine was working on Aug 4. Someone had turned off the power switch above it. It’s not defunct — just needed to be turned back on. #FactCheck

@intenthealer We’re a startup building smart vending systems to promote eco-friendly living. Our cloth bag machines support TN Govt’s #MeendumManjappai. The Secretariat machine was working on Aug 4. It was only turned off — the switch is just above the unit. #FactCheck

@UpdatesChennai the Manjappai machine at the Secretariat was functional — and used successfully on 4th August 2025 via UPI. On 6th August, the machine may have appeared off because someone had switched it off. let’s ensure facts are checked before calling any public initiative “defunct.”

[Instagood @Goinstagood]

@Raana_Official machine is in working condition

@Vanakkamdoc @CMOTamilnadu The Manjappai machine at the Secretariat was functional — and used successfully on 4th August 2025 via UPI.

[Instagood @Goinstagood]

@reclaimchennai @supriyasahuias It was fully functional and used by the public as recently as 4th August 2025. We’re always open to constructive feedback — but let’s ensure facts are checked before calling any public initiative “defunct.”

[Instagood @Goinstagood]

@jvidyasagar @supriyasahuias On 6th August, it may have appeared off due to a temporary power issue — the switch (located just above the machine) was turned off. A simple check would have restored its function.

[Instagood @Goinstagood]

@Airaavan The Manjappai vending machine installed at the TN Secretariat is a smart vending machine, specifically developed to dispense cloth bags and promote sustainable alternatives to plastic.

[Instagood @Goinstagood]

@28Madras Machine is in working condition sir. On 6th August, the machine may have appeared off because someone had switched it off — the switch is right above the unit, clearly visible to anyone interested in checking.
We’ve also placed a maintenance check sheet
