The problem is that America just doesn't care about anything until shit hits the fan.
Remember, we are a country of men that doesn't watch what we eat until after our arteries are clogged. This applies to every single aspect of American life.
America refuses to demand no taxation without representation and show up at the polls to doll out punishments where necessary.
Another thing that has to change is how taboo it is to talk positively of other countries. Here, the US is the best in everything and even where improvements are necessary we are still the best. France does this or Sweden does that falls on deaf ears here 99% of the time. The US has too much pride for it's own good.
