This may be a little petty, but I'm wondering if anyone has information about how much energy is utilized by the lazy old elevator? I work in a tall city building and it drives me nuts how much people choose the elevator over the stairs (even for one flight!). I would like to get some energy figures and create a contest/challenge amongst employees. Any knowledge or ideas here?

Traditional, non-social marketing oriented appeals tend to focus on health benefits and adopt a patronizing tone. Once I saw in a building an appeal to the time-saving enabled by stairs - the person in charge told me it increased the use of stairs by a sizable percentage. Anyway, it depends on what resonates best with your public(s).

Mary,
Did anyone ever get back to you? I'm trying to do the same as you, gather information and create a contest/challenge. Any feedback you or others have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
