We thought we were the only ones who might look at a club full of people bouncing to Talib Kweli and think “what if you could harness all that booty shaking?” Nope.

Turns out Andrew Charalambous had a similar thought and (god bless millionaires for making our crazy ideas happen) will be opening Britain’s first eco-nightclub in King’s Cross, where a modified dance floor will convert all that untapped dancing into electricity.

A project by a new climate change organization called Club4Climate, Charalambous said he hoped to use clubbing to inspire young people to tackle global warming. “This is a new way to draw in the young generation,” he said.

The website’s a little intense, but with the slogan “all you really have to do is dance to save the world”, there’s a lot more going on than the typical club scene. On top of the dance floor (which could apparently generate up to 60 per cent of the building’s energy), the club also plans on using a recycled water system to flush their lavatories, serve organic spirits served in polycarbon cups, and will curb the Entry to the wave the £10 entry fee for those who can prove that they cycled, used public transport or walked to the venue. Customers will have to sign a pledge before entering the club that they will work towards curbing climate change.

The club is based at Bar Surya in Pentonville Road (owned by Charalambous) and opens July 10th.
