LONDON'S PEOPLE-POWERED NIGHT CLUB
FROM TIME:
Yes, it's a cheesy slogan: "all you have to do is dance to save the world." But Club4Climate's silly-sounding premise--that partygoers can groove their way to a greener planet--is based on real science. The environmental group, founded by British real estate mogul Andrew Charalambous, is set to open what is being touted as the world's first eco-club on July 10 in London. And as the dancers get pumped up, Club Surya will get powered up. Literally. The dance floor is designed to harness the energy of the people stomping on it based on a principle called piezoelectricity.

A great and amazing idea!! Great to see more people doing things for the enviroment! www.grandparties.co.uk had a review on this place once which is when i first heard about it. And another fact you should know, all excess power generated that the venue doesnt need will go to local residents free of charge! another great way to help the local community as well as the enviroment!
