Screw you.

Let’s consider aboriginal life. It’s not efficient at all. They waste all kinds of time. When they gather food from nature they fail to take 99% of it. When they need energy and tap the sun’s radiation or the river-flow they are profligate and yet hardly make a dent.

Modern humans: Learn to live simply and there will be so much surplus that you won’t need to be overly concerned about “efficiency.”

(it’s a technocratic concept, anyway, only significant when we are imprisoned within the Technosphere)
