Manifesto by Dale Vince

In 1996 he founded green energy company Ecotricity based on principles of social, financial and environmental sustainability, and changed the landscape of UK energy forever.
Revealing, inspiring and funnyThis book is a joy to romp through, which is good, because its final chapter is the important truth we all need to hear and understand if we are to survive this mess we've made. -- Chris Packham
Mad Max meets Laurie Lee. -- Andrew Merrell, Raikes Journal
I found Manifesto enthralling, thought-provoking and I learnt so much from it. Nor had I any idea that we had our own Archimedes living in The Cotswolds. -- Jilly Cooper
Manifesto is not just an essential read, it's highly entertaining. Dale Vince is the UK's best known eco entrepreneur and he tells a great story - from pitched battles with the cops as a new age traveller to standoffs with the fossil fuel energy barons. Think Silent Spring meets Succession. Ultimately this book calls out both boring eco orthodoxy and unhinged 'moonshot' rhetoric instead setting out a compelling, accessible case for radical and rapid sustainable change. -- Lucy Siegle

Dale Vince (Author)
Dale Vince, eco warrior and businessman, has dedicated his life to championing environmental sustainability. Since founding the world’s first green energy electricity company in 1996, he has been on a mission to change the face of energy provision on a global scale.

The innovative entrepreneur continues to lead the eco revolution with sustainable thinking at the heart of all his ventures and achievements, from running an eco-friendly football team to receiving an OBE from the Queen for services to the environment.

His first book, Manifesto, unlocks the tools for changing the world in an ode to being more eco-conscious, visionary and determined than ever.
