The one major fail I have noticed of the Danes "Greenness" is the way the light system is set up in my apartment's stairwell. Instead of the lights being motion censored, you push a button when you walk in the stairwell and the lights are on a timer. The reason this isn't the greenest approach is because the lights end up being on for a lot longer than it takes for people to walk up the stairs.
For the past month I have made a little game for myself. If the lights are on when I walk into the stairwell, I don't push the button to reset the timer, I chance it. I race up the stairs to see if I can get to my floor before the lights go out. (There is no way of knowing how long until the lights go out again). I had become quite good at this game, never actually getting stuck in the dark.
However, going downstairs just now the lights went out and I was trapped in the stairwell too scared to move. Having come home from Oktoberfest today with 3 brand new stitches, I have decided this is no longer a good game for me to play.
