That unfortunately impossible. That’s just not how American culture is like. As a New Yorker, I literally see half eaten pizza, bagels, and crap on the street every day. New trains get graffitied or worse yet just carved with keys within a month.

We just have to accept this is the way our culture is.

this is not entirely a culture thing. It is also an education thing...

just 20 or so years ago, Taiwan was very much like U.S, trash thrown everywhere, on the ground and such. And to be fair, there are still people who do these crappy thing, but it is so much better now.

I remember walking in the local market with litters on the side walk back when I was a kid. And I don't see them as much anymore just last month I went back to visit.

It might take time, but once you teach a generation, they will set example for the next, and it will become the norm.

Culture can change. The homophobia of the 1990's and even 2000's is completely unthinkable today, and it's not inconceivable that littering, graffiti and stuff of that nature could be like that in 10-20 years time.
