Over 10,000 party animals hit Rotterdam's clubs each weekend. Young entrepreneurs are looking to make these hangouts more eco-friendly by designing a dance floor to use this enormous source of energy to power the clubs.

In combination with more traditional eco-friendly measures, these innovations may make a night out far less damaging to the environment. Living Planet takes a look around Rotterdam's eco-clubbing scene.
