It's just a cool thing to do if the flashing light and the rocking music you dance to are powered by solar or yourself. Nightclubs around the world are stepping up to reduce their carbon footprint.In two weeks, Ecco Ultra Lounge, located in Hollywood's popular Cahuenga Corridor, is going to open as the first and only eco-friendly nightclub in Hollywood. After a two-month revamp, the club features everything "green", from energy saving LED lighting system, solar-paneled roof, free valet parking for Hybrids, eco cement, to recycled steel air pressure toilets and waterless urinals. The club's indoor lighting system saves up 80% electricity and is powered by the solar-paneled roof.
On Ecco's website, I also delightedly discovered its all-organic menu. My favorite dish is Soy Cured Organic Salmon with Avocado, Pickled Ginger, and Wasabi Oil.
Netherland's WATT is a funkier environmental-friendly nightclub. The club generates its electricity by humans. When dancing crowd moves, it absorbs the energy and transfers it into electricity power to light the dancing floor. The floor comes to live and lights flash faster when the crowd gets hotter and sweatier. Its toilets flush with rainwater and drinks are served in recyclable cups.
Before WATT, London's club Surya, opened this July, generates power by the concept of piezoelectricity in which the materials rub together to create a charge. Surya was called the world's first ecological club by Times.
