It gets hot in September in Los Angeles, but as I have said, the climate here is pretty good, and we probably don't use as much energy for heating and cooling here as people do in other parts of the country. We waste a lot of fossil fuels on automobiles. We need a better, more energy efficient public transportation system. We are slowly working on that. Bicycles would be great, but they are impractical for most of us who are aged over 50. We don't have the physiques for it -- at least most of us don't.
I love to walk and do whenever possible. I like to knit and wear layers in the winter.
We actually probably are pretty energy efficient out here. But a lot of people have air conditioning. And some keep their offices at very low temperatures on hot days.
