When I visited my hometown (nearly 350 Kms from Chennai), myself and my wife went out for an evening walk on the banks of river Cauvery. We saw a guy selling Pani poori (a famous snack from the northern part of India). We were quite impressed by the banner that he put near his roadside shop.
We had a samosa channa, another snack which is a combination of chick peas and samosa. It was not bad and the level of hygiene was decent enough. He makes it hot and spicy on the spot and serves in a “use and throw” plate. In summary, what the banner said is, “Keep the place clean by throwing the used plates in the dust bin. Do not litter” and strangely it was polite enough!
He sets up his shop in the evening and serves hot snacks. He carries a commercial gas cylinder with him to heat and serve the food. 
All said and done, he has his own problems staying in business and he said operational costs are high!! Are we not talking the same thing in our daily corporate lives? But I would appreciate his consciousness to have a litter free zone around him. The whole world will be a better place if everyone of us think of keeping our surroundings clean.
Litter free or free litter…. it is up to you!
P.S: If you want to know about the dishes I have mentioned here. Please go to google and find it out yourself.
