Environmentally Friendly Clubbing

Well here we go Ladies & Gents!

Now we can even be 'eco-friendly' when we go out clubbing. According to a report in Reuters, a club where dancers generate power to light the floor, toilets flush with rain water and drinks come in recyclable cups opened in the Netherlands a few weeks ago with the hope to lure environmentally conscious clubbers.

The club, named Rotterdam's WATT, is designed to save about 30% on energy and carbon emissions and 50% on water and waste compared to other nightclubs. It has included sustainable elements into everything from its architecture right down to its cafe menus, which is mainly sourced locally and from organic producers.

The main showpiece at WATT is a dance floor on which the lights become more dynamic as more people dance around on it. In other words the more you dance the more the lights come to life and a meter on the side shows how much power is being generated.

Another interesting twist is that the architects behind WATT say they have attempted to create a 'bathroom experience' as you watch rain water from the roof travel through transparent pipes when you flush.

The project, which they now hope to export was one of the finalists for last year's €500,000 'Green Challenge' prize juried by billionaire Sir Richard Branson.
