Reviews

"""Mark Shayler is a pioneer of the notion that going green is good for business, and this brilliantly accessible book shows how every workplace can make a difference for the planet, and still be business winners."" * Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstal, founder of River Cottage and environmental campaigner * ""All small businesses should read this book because it's a revolution waiting to happen. I truly believe that business can change the world and nobody breaks down the steps to making a profit with principles better than Mark does here. If you want to make a (real) difference but aren't sure how, this is a superb place to start."" * Holly Tucker MBE, Founder of Notonthehighstreet * ""This is the book I was waiting for. With his characteristic verve and straight-talking swagger, Mark Shayler shows you the sustainability bits that matter and ditches the ones that don't. Suddenly everything makes sense! Keep this book in your back pocket for meetings, project pitches and getting lost in the forest. A must-read and a must-act book which illuminates your path every step of the way."" * Lucy Siegle, Author and Journalist * ""An honest and enlightening manifesto for change. Between the sober truth and some reasons to be cheerful, Mark highlights the brutal reality of our current road to terminal illness, whilst explaining that every business can contribute to our road to recovery by correctly harnessing the power of its people. Energy. Circularity. Mobility. Regeneration. Resilience. Education. Activism. If any of these words are resonant with you, this book is your must-have guide to understanding the impact of doing business on the planet, providing a multitude of options to re-think and re-invent why an accountable, progressive and regenerative business culture is the key to designing a better future."" * Raoul Shah, Founder and Joint CEO, The Casbah Group * ""Mark Shayler has been around a bit in the world of corporate sustainability - in fact, more than 30 years. And he's worked with a shedload of companies during that time. So he knows what he's talking about, the anecdotes are authentic, and his humour a tonic in what can be very arid territory. Part 'how to' primer, part explainer of all things relevant, and part celebration of the power of creative design. You Can't Make Money from a Dead Planet ticks all the boxes."" * Sir Jonathan Porritt, environmentalist and former Director of Friends of the Earth *"
