T3V in the Media

This won't be a comprehensive list, but we thought it would be nice to have a record of when the group and its members get in the media about all things veggie and ethical. Anything before or since 2008 is from memory, so we will have missed out some - please tell us if there's something we should add.

Sophie appears in much of this, and would love more of you to join in - the more faces and voices the more interesting!
