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

Whether you’re plant-based or practicing Meatless Mondays, you’re a reducetarian! We each have different motivations, and are leveraging different tools, but we share one common goal — a better world. Together, we can protect the environment, improve human health, and spare farm animals from cruelty.
