Extreme Green

Pouring your own sweat into the fight against climate change is no new idea of course, especially for commuters. But we’re not only talking cyclists and joggers here: how about the growing trend of alternative commuters skateboarding through Manhattan, kayaking along the Thames or windsurfing to work along the south coast of England? A handful of Londoners are even navigating the dreaded rush hour in a pony and trap.

Get down for global warming

The idea of harnessing the energy we produce in our daily lives is already in action in a handful of quirky venues. Eco-conscious Londoners can put on their dancing shoes and head for Surya nightclub, which has an innovative spring-loaded dance floor capable of harnessing kinetic energy from the stomping and twirling upon it.Another eco-club in the Netherlands goes even further, aiming to collect the evaporated sweat produced by clubbers, and channel it into grey water circuits to flush the club’s toilets.
