READING:

Amsterdam has banned public advertisements for meat and fossil fuel products. There will be no ads for burgers, petrol cars, and airlines in public places. The ban is to help the city be carbon neutral by 2050. Another aim is for people to halve how much meat they eat. An environmentalist said the ban on meat ads is similar to the one on cigarettes. She said it was "weird" that people were once allowed to smoke in public.

Two groups are unhappy with the ban. A meat association said the ban would unfairly change people's behaviour. It said meat was healthy. Similarly, a travel agent group said the ban was too strict. The group said it would make it difficult for travel agents to do business. A climate activist said ads for fossil fuel products damage the environment. He was happy that Amsterdam is setting a good example with the ban.
