Action #091

Take the stairs


 
This action has been done 17,117 times which means collectively we've climbed roughly 5.306 Mount Everests.
 
How we did the maths
 

Now, we could worry you with lots of stories about lifts that go wrong. The lifts in our building, for instance, are made by a company called Schindler, Schindler's Lift. True story. And lifts go wrong. There is little worse than being stuck in an upright box with eight halitotic strangers.

So take the stairs. It cuts down your chances of heart disease, osteoporosis and diabetes. Plus, if halitosis is catching, you're less likely to catch that as well.

    use our legs more

    Actually I don't like elevator much. I use stairs any time I can. My school is not very high so I often climb stairs. It's much fresher and more comfortable. But when it comes to tall buildings, I have no other choice. 19 August 2010, 05:35

    not sure what to call it

    i used the stairs rather then going in a lift because i saw that there were lots of people with buggies and i thought that lifts should only be used by people who cant take the stairs. 22 April 2010, 17:22

    Where I draw the line...

    if its a public building the ceilings are generally higher and when Im out and about I usually have a heavy bag with me, loaded with at least one textbook, if it goes over three floors its like going to the gym being fully clothed... not good when trying to make an impression! 15 March 2010, 01:06

    we don't have lifts

    we don't have lift's in our dorm and in our house, so I always do it. Sometimes I use the lift in the school because I don't like walking 6 floors with a cup of hot coffee in my hand. 11 January 2010, 16:14

    Beat the Crowds ;D

    Nothing worse than being stuck in a huge crowd, all fighting for a space on an escalator which is hardly moving anyway... I took the stairs instead at the train station, and secured myself a seat on the train before anyone else could get there :D 03 September 2009, 11:44
