When in traffic, what do you do with the peel after eating a banana you just bought from a street vendor? Where do you throw the plastic bottle after finishing up your soda? Or the wrapper that held a snack?

Too often, motorists and their passengers throw this trash out the window and onto the street. The impact of this habit has recently been brought to the public’s attention after clogged drainages led to devastating floods across major towns.
