What people have said about the book:
'One of the most prominent voices promoting green issues over the last 25 years' Tony Blair
‘Jonathon Porritt's book could not have come at a more timely and critical moment... A vital contribution to the most compelling issue of our times.’ Will Hutton
'As ex-chair of the Green Party, one-time director of Friends of the Earth, and co-founder and Director of Forum for the Future, Porritt is possibly the best person to write a book such as this. The reader can feel confident that his views are based on a desire to create a sustainable future rather than less laudable reasons...an important factor when dealing with such a revolutionary book' Pauline Thomas.
