Hollywood is Home of First Eco-Club in the State
Hollywood is set to be the home of California's first eco-friendly nightclub when the Ecco Ultra Lounge opens its doors.The club is recycling the Asian themed Tokio nightclub and will feature a bunch of eco-friendly upgrades, such as an LED lighting system for the dance floor, organic food and liquors, and state of the art hand dryers. The club will also offer free valet for hybrid vehicles and will operate a paperless ticket system.
The transformation of the venue will be filmed by the Discovery Channel's Planet Green and shown on Alter Eco show, hosted by Entourage star Adrian Grenier.
An opening date has not been decided, but could be some time in July. This just seems so ironic to me. I mean Hollywood the city of waste, superficiality and plastic is the city with the first eco-club? Thankfully there are a handful of celebs that are backing the green lifestyle at least publicly. Maybe this was the thinking behind this eco-chic club. The real question is, where will everyone park their Escalades?
About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
