Discrimination

A new "eco-nightclub" is opening in London next month. The floor is going to be able to generate electricity from people dancing. Its actually pretty cool and I appreciate the ingenuity... but I do not appreciate the discrimination of the night club! In order to be let into the nightclub you are forced to "sign a pledge promising to work towards curbing climate change." I think it is pretty unbelievable in order to be allowed into a night club you have to sign a pledge to fight climate change. Climate change is a good thing! We should be supporting the warmth not coercing people into signing pledges to stop it. Just another ploy by another company to get people to buy their product (attend their night club) by guilting people into "being green."
