Lessons from a maverick entrepreneur whose passion for sustainability changed UK energy forever.
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.

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.

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.

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.
