But it increases the total entropy of the system (the universe). Doing everything increases the entropy.
I think I read/heard somewhere (cannot recall where) that complex systems in general (and Life in particular) are processes that are more efficient at increasing entropy. Perhaps the very same effort to to maintain their internal entropy low, drives the overall entropy to increase faster than if there wasn't any complex system in the first place.
