Jan. 6th. Automatic doors and Elevators. We may only think of taking the steps or by-passing the automatically opening doors is for health but it also helps the environment. Electricity is required to run these things be it the elevator or the door. Cutting electricity use where ever we can is worth it and here there is a health benefit too. Bonus!

Yeah, but then there's places like Target with their electric doors that go off and open as you reach for the regular non-wasteful door right next to it.

Which is another issue all together.

Really.

BTW: I might not agree with everything you're posting in this continuing series, but I really like it.

There are setting on the infrared detectors. They are supposed to be set so that they are only the width of the entrance and so many.. 4 I think feet from the base of the door. Many in stores are not properly set up. Hell the one Giant Eagle when you drive by the door opens. O.o

I plan on adding one thing every day. I just look around at suggestions and post them. I'm sure not everyone will agree with all of them. Some of them I don't totally agree with but the point is to make the options known.
