“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
What a revelation this man is! The book was full of some great ideas and a whole raft of common sense when it comes to renewable energy. Hats off to Dale Vince for a well narrated story of a rise from anarchist to architect of arguably the most important concepts that we face today.
Dale Vince is on my list of people I would like to meet over a pint in the pub. We would have so much to talk about as I was also at the battle of the Beanfield and some of the other attempts to break – up the anarchist convoys of the mid-eighties.
A great read which I believe everybody who cares about the future of this country should read even if some of his ideas may still be ahead of their time.
With thanks to Gerry for guest reviewing Manifesto and with thanks to Dale for sending us reading copies.
About the Book
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.
