Amsterdam has banned public advertisements for meat and fossil fuel products. This includes ads for burgers, cars, and airlines. The city wants to be carbon neutral by 2050. An environmentalist said the ban on meat ads is like the one on cigarettes. She said it was strange that people were once allowed to smoke in public.
A meat association is unhappy. It said the ban would unfairly change people's behaviour. It said meat was healthy. A travel agent group said the ban was too strict, and that it would be difficult for travel agents to do business. A climate activist said ads for fossil fuel products damage the environment.
