What are media saying about the Summit?
“Brings together people working on the issue from every conceivable angle, despite their differences. As a result, I met a lot more people… than I would've from a typical conference. And as cliché as it might sound, it was a reminder of the importance of setting aside minor differences to find common ground.” – Vox
“[A]n inclusive message: “It’s not all or nothing. Everyone is welcome.’” – Washington Post
“The unusual mix of attendees at the Reducetarian Summit… attests to this value.” – Time
“The conference [is] making ripples across The Atlantic.” – The Independent
“I left this one with fresh ideas and new nagging questions… a success.” – NPR
“An offbeat mélange... attract[s] people who aren't the usual-suspect[s.]” – Axios
