The words
Amsterdam has banned public [advertises / advertisements] for meat and fossil fuel products. This means there will be no [fads / ads] for burgers, chicken [nuggets / nugget] , petrol cars, and airlines in Amsterdam's streets, train stations, and [another / other] public places. The ban is [for / to] help move Amsterdam towards its target of [being / been] carbon neutral by 2050. One aim is for local residents to halve how [much / many] meat they eat. The city is the world's first capital to take [so / such] action. Environmentalist Hannah Prins said the ban on meat advertising is similar to the [one / once] on cigarette products. The number of smokers went down because of that. Ms Prins said it was "weird" that people were once [allows / allowed] to smoke in public.

Two groups in Holland are [unhappily / unhappy] that they can no [longer / lengthen] advertise their products. The Dutch Meat Association called the ban "an undesirable way to [influence / influential] consumer behaviour". It added that meat "[delivers / transports] essential nutrients and should remain [looked / visible] and accessible to consumers". [Differently / Similarly] , the Dutch Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators said the ban was too strict and unfairly limited their [able / ability] to do business. Climate activist Andrea Mancuso disagreed. He said ads that lead to more [fossils / fossil] fuels being used damages the environment. SShe said: "By becoming the first [initial / capital] to legally ban fossil fuels and meat advertising, Amsterdam is... [setting / betting] a global standard."
