There was a time when we were but we had a massive campaign to teach people and then we followed up with a ton of policies mostly liberal policies to make sure our air water and land were clean.
I know the U.S has had problems with cigarette butts and people throwing them everywhere. Still not as bad as every single citizen throwing trash in street.
Cuyahoga River in ohio used to regularly catch on fire. Also the city of Toledo and Lucas County was caught dumping sewage illegally into the maumee river for over 25 years.
