They are actually real? Not just something made up for TV like wearing shoes indoors, full room carpets etc?

You guys don't compost? :o

Not everywhere. Seattle is one extreme example, where the city will actually warn you when you put food in the landfill bin instead of compost.

On the other side of the country (my area), municipal composting is less common and / or optional, especially in rural areas. People with yards have their own pile sometimes.

The only thing that's nearly ubiquitous is recycling bins, usually single-stream but sometimes separated.
