Last week saw the launch of the world’s ‘first’ eco-club in London. Surya is an environmentally sustainable club run by the so-called Dr. Earth and is in Kings Cross. Green really is the new black as the green revolution moves into the world of clubbing. Is eco-clubbing going to be the next big thing?
So how do you make a club green? Well the club is powered by wind turbines and solar energy and generates enough electricity to pass on to its neighbours. With rising energy prices this will make Surya very popular!
Alongside alternative energy the club has low flush toilets, eco-friendly air conditioning and a rather exciting dancefloor. According to Dr. Earth the dancing motion will help generate electricity! This is due to a mixture of quartz crystals, ceramics and some interesting technology. So now even dancing can be responsible and green!!
The indoors is also kitted out with recycled and eco-friendly materials. For example there is a Biro chandelier. They even sell organic wine and beer. Not sure about the spirits or mixers though…..
It seems that ethical and green issues are really in the limelight at the moment. People are concerned about their carbon footprint and being carbon neutral. If Surya can convince it’s guests to make even the smallest of changes to reduce their carbon footprint this could make a big difference to the environment. Hopefully eco-clubs will eventually become the norm as opposed to a unique selling point.
We’ll be bringing you information on ethical fashion so you can have a complete eco-clubbing experience! You can check out ethical fashion at Adili.
