In the 50sand early 60s, families would congregate all their hamburger wrappers and paper cups into one sack and throw it out the window.
At least then it was all paper and would, in theory, biodegrade. Plastic straws and wrappers these days won't.
In theory, yes.
In reality, the U.S. had to enact littering fines, convict- and volunteer-led trash pickup efforts, and a massive national anti-littering campaign in order to prevent the newly minted interstates from becoming public dumps.
