If you’re able bodied and don’t live and work at the top of a high tower, just take the stairs. Elevators consume a lot of energy and do far less to build your gluteus maximus and your character. It may seem hard at first, but you’ll come to love it.

Elevator power use varies, but by one estimate, if you avoid using the elevator in your office or apartment building for one day, it has the same effect as turning off a 60W light bulb for 5 hours.
