As an American, in my experience Americans just don’t care. We’re so “ruggedly individualistic” that there’s very little sense of a common good. In Europe I’ve noticed things are oftentimes cleaner. Even the parts of Canada I’ve been in have been nice. When every American city is covered in trash it’s hard to not to make some sort of generalization. Of course I’ve been to other places too that have had just as much trash laying around as here. As dumb as it is, we need more easily accessible trash cans everywhere. You can’t make negligent and lazy people care. But you can make it easier for them to do the right thing. I don’t have a source but I heard Disney World has trash cans placed every X feet after a similar litter study.
