The venue for the launch- the Sandbar, 120 Grosvenor St- has not been chosen by accident. The Sandbar recycles all its cardboard, glass and paper, and gets its electricity from a 100% renewable energy supplier.
One of the book's editors, Marc Hudson, said "This is a fun, practical book, full of useful information about who's doing what in Manchester on a range of different issues- food, education, transport. It's got cartoons, quotes and is all in bite-sized pieces (4). And the Sandbar is the perfect location for a launch, because they take their environmental responsibilities seriously, while still being a really great locally-owned venue."
