Twitter user shares clip of lady fruit seller who picks up trash discarded by her customers
The video was originally posted on Twitter by a user named Adarsh Hegde, who informed his followers that the lady sells fruits wrapped in banana leaves near the Ankola bus station in Karnataka.
According to Hegde’s tweet, after eating the fruits, most customers throw banana leaves on the road. However, the fruit seller takes it upon herself to pick up the trash and dispose of it properly in a dustbin.
Adarsh tweet read,
This lady is fruit seller & she sells fruits wrapped in leaves at Ankola Bus stand,Karnataka. Some people after finish eating they throw the leaves from bus window. But this lady goes there picks up the leaves and puts it in dustbin. Its not her work but she’s doing it.

The fruit seller’s actions are a testament to the power of individual action and how even small acts of kindness can make a significant impact on society.
