Eco Indulgence

ELECTRIC SLIDE Everbody dance now! Seriously, or the lights will shut off

ENERGY RAVES
In 2005, Worm, a combination night club and art space, opened in Rotterdam, Holland. Its walls were made of recycled boards, its toilets of oil drums and door handles of bicycle handlebars. Hard to top. But just a few months ago, another local nightlife project called the Sustainable Dance Club took Worm to town. Surely the result of an Ecstasy epiphany, the idea behind the venue is that its 20-by-20 foot dance floor converts energy generated from body movement into electricity that powers the lighting. And when you tire of eco-dancing, you can polish off some organic cocktails, then relieve yourself in one of the club's rainwater toilets. Oh, Holland.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN-UP
Eco-hedonists are cleaning up the planet, one room at a time, thanks to environmentally friendly maid services. But they're too busy saving the world to pick up their trash, so agencies like Earth Maids and Ms. Green Clean have filled the gap. No, it's not radioactive waste disposal, but don't tell them that—they take their jobs very seriously. Through her own natural recipes, Ms. Green Clean brews up non-toxic healthy alternative cleaning fluids. Linens and furniture are sprayed with lightly scented waters, which we assume is patchouli-based. Healthy handmade "treats" are left behind on each visit. Who needs gold-wrapped Godiva on a pillow when there's carob and barley, n'est-ce pas?
