There’s always something interesting going on in the Discovery Channel. So I decided to check out their website and see what are some of the news regarding planet earth. I actually found a very important article about a company working on a nightclub that would be environmentally friendly. (That phrase is still annoying since the innovation expo)

Now this idea would have been amazing at the expo, if of course presented well. This eco-friendly night club is not “green” because it uses recyclable/biodegradable shot glasses, napkins, etc. etc. Although maybe they might since that’s the whole point of their design. This club is said to use people’s dance moves as an emission of energy that would power the whole nightclub. For instance, if there are only two people on the dance floor, or walking around, they would emit enough energy for say one or two lights to come on. So the point of this is to have as many people in this club dancing and moving around to release all the energy needed to light the entire club.

I know it may sound kinda goofy at first, but if you think about it it’s actually a really smart idea. Now I’m not very clear about how the energy from humans will translate into electrical energy to light the club, but as far as being environmentally friendly, this is one of the most unique ideas I’ve heard about so far.
