"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 "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 How one maverick entrepreneur took on UK energy... and won.
Dale Vince never intended to start a business. Driven by a passion
for sustainability, he left school aged 15 and became a New Age
traveller, living for free in a wind-powered double decker bus. But
after building his first wind turbine, he realised that to change
the world he needed to be on the grid, not off it. 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. Since then, Dale has been appointed
a UN ambassador for climate issues, become the owner of the first
ever vegan football club, and amassed a fortune of over £120
million built on sustainability. He has also been a vocal supporter
of Extinction Rebellion which, like Ecotricity, is based in Stroud.
In this book, he shares his single-minded and uniquely
purpose-orientated approach to business, with lessons learned from
experience that will speak to any fledgling entrepreneur. This is
the story of a man whose unwavering mission to help save the
environment has driven him all the way to the top, and a powerful
manifesto for anyone who wants to change the world.
