Andy Lipkis, Founder and President of TreePeople, describes how this organization has pioneered an integrated approach to managing urban ecosystems as watersheds in the Los Angeles region. This involves strategic tree planting, tree-mimicking technologies, and community engagement to generate multiple solutions to the environmental threats facing our cities, including ensuring a sustainable water supply, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, preventing water and air pollution, fostering stronger neighborhoods, and creating jobs. For a summary of TreePeople’s six demonstration projects that are now collecting 1.25 million gallons of water every time it rains 1″ in Los Angeles, visit www. treepeople.org.

LYRICS:

I need you to recycle
If you want the keys to my heart

Do you really want to get with me
You gotta know how to live smart

My love is sustainable, not just biodegradable
I wanna ride your bicycle
Reduce, re-use and recycle

Youre being romantic with me
Guess whats too gigantic for me?
Its your carbon footprint boyy

(CHORUS)

And if you wanna be with me
Save your energy,
Save your energy

Youre looking good but you drive an H3.
Save your energy
Save your energy

Youre using plastic for your groceries
Save your energy
Save your energy

You should act like Ed Begley
Save your energy
Save it all for me

(RAP)

Hey Girl whats these signs that you sending me
Ive been trying to save the world conserving all my energy
We could ride in my hybrid fuel efficiency
Solo-powered sunroof blowin in the windy breeze
Baby I re-use, I recycle
Low flow shower heads too if you like, boo
Anything I use is biodegradable
Why you still saving all your love, what you waiting for?

(CHORUS)

And if you wanna be with me
Save your energy,
Save your energy

Walking to work is so d*mn sexy
Save your energy
Save your energy

Obama can be proud of you and me
Save your energy
Save your energy

I’m turned on by stuff unplugged for me
Save your energy
Save your energy
