OK, here it is people: We live on a giant rock that’s orbiting thousands of miles per hour around — that’s right — a giant ball of fire. Believe it or not, it’s going to get hot — it’s not all global warming.

So, to all of you Gore followers, sorry, I’m not buyin’ your “end-of-the-world” crap. No, no hear me out. I’m not a right wing, anti-Gore type of guy, but there are a few things I will buy.

First and foremost, I know that I’m lucky to be here; I’m lucky to live in one of the best cities, in the best state, in the best country in the world.

Second, I know that all living things are in a constant state of flux.  I know that my body temperature rises and falls, I know that the temperature of my town rises and falls.  And I know from history that the temperature of the world hasn’t remained constant, see: Ice Age.

Global warming may or may not be a relevant issue. Regardless, I don’t need a scientist to tell me that our water isn’t blue, that our air isn’t clean, and that Los Angeles sucks (in terms of smog, not the Clippers…). The point being this: our water once was clear, our air once was fresh, and Los Angeles never had either of those.  I want things to be beautiful like that again.

It comes down to efficiency, ladies and gentlemen. Efficiency is simple: use all of the energy that is consumed. Cars, for example, are extremely inefficient. According to the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Web site, fueleconomy.gov, “Only about 15 percent of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run usefuly accessories, such as air conditioning.”

Everything in our lives can be broken down into energy consumption and energy available. The gas you put in your car had to be transported to the gas station, requiring energy. Before that it had to be refined, requiring more energy. Bottom line, there is a lot of energy that is being wasted from start to finish.

This isn’t a call for all of us to start growing our own food and becoming one with nature. But what I am asking for is your awareness. Be aware of all that goes into the things that make up your daily life and maybe, just maybe, try to improve the efficiency of your life. That means walking up those stairs, taking the bus, and maybe trying out your green thumb. It’s not as bad as it sounds, I promise.
