A Pizza Hut employee was seen throwing garbage into a drain, clogging up the waterway and polluting the environment.

The incident was filmed on camera by passerby and uploaded onto social media where it began to go viral.

Sri Lanka was recently placed 5th in the world list of countries experiencing the worst pollution due to plastic and polythene.

According to the Marine Environment Protection Authority, Sri Lankans dumps one billion pounds of plastic and polythene a year.

The video of the Pizza Hut employee throwing garbage into the drain has caused censure online, as adherents criticise the actions of Pizza Hut as irresponsible.
