While enjoying the premiere of Season Six of HBO’s hit series Entourage, I couldn’t help but notice the nasty backdrop during one scene. Is that really you Los Angeles peaking through the smog?

Scenes such as this one are images that the city is attempting to change. In April 2009, the Los Angeles air basin was ranked as one of the dirtiest regions in the nation. In response, officials have signaled “intentions” to make the region “coal-free” by 2020 — relying instead on energy from renewable sources, natural gas, nuclear and hydroelectric power.

Till then, we hope Vinny Chase and the gang breathe lightly.
