At last, a nightclub that Al Gore can appreciate. This environmentally friendly lounge features treehouse-like nooks, organic juices in drinks, and is smoke-free (fittingly, it opened on Earth Day in 2007). It uses solar power for some of its electrical needs, and incorporates recycled and natural materials into its design, such as \"trees\" made from mud, sand, clay and straw. DJs spin upbeat world music that thumps through speakers made of recycled wood.
