Greenhouse: NYC's Eco-Friendly Nightclub

During our visit to New York for OrganicNation.tv's East Coast tour we got a chance to visit Greenhouse, NYC's first eco-friendly nightclub. The bi-level, 6,000 square-foot space is the first nightclub in New York with LEED certification, the official stamp of approval from the  US Green Building Council. That means that everything from building materials to garbage disposal, as well as energy and water use, has to be regulated and reduced.

I sat down with Greenhouse owner Barry Mullineaux to talk about the club's green features, including bamboo walls, LED lighting, low flow toilets and eco-friendly 360 Vodka.

Special thanks to the staff at Greenhouse for all their help!
