Overview

Lessons from a maverick entrepreneur whose passion for sustainability changed UK energy forever. ""Revealing, inspiring and funny. This 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 This is the story of a man whose unwavering journey to save the environment has driven him all the way to the top, and a powerful manifesto for anyone who wants to change the world. Dale Vince has led a remarkable life. From 'enemy of the state' to 'green energy tycoon', he has dedicated his life to challenging conventional wisdom in pursuit of a better way to live. Dale kickstarted the now global green energy movement, helping to bring environmentalism into the mainstream. He pioneered the electric car, built the first Electric Highway to power them and runs Forest Green Rovers, the world's first vegan football club. With a questioning mind that does not take 'no' for an answer, Dale has spent his whole life striving for change. In his first book, Dale explores what must be done to win the battle for Green Britain. It's a manifesto of hope, backed up by solutions, from someone with real life experience of disrupting the energy industry and paving the way for a greener planet. This is a manifesto that is changing the world. The revised and updated version has a new chapter from Dale on why he decided to shift support from Just Stop Oil to Just Stopping The Tories, why politics is the final frontier for a greener Britain and includes important links to register to vote and to get your ID sorted for the most important election of our generation.

Revealing, inspiring and funny. This 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
