Amsterdam will ban “fossil” advertising, ads from companies that harm the climate. On Thursday, the city council approved a proposal from GroenLinks and the Partij voor de Dieren to prohibit this type of advertising in public spaces. Ads for meat will also no longer be allowed.Amsterdam began curbing this kind of advertising in 2020 through agreements with advertisers. The new rules will now be formalized in the city’s General Local Regulation (APV).

    love to you guys but every time I see something like this it drives me crazy that my society is light years from it. trying to claw back basic rights here. I am glad some places in the world are trying to be utopic than dystopic though. Much better than seeing something which makes me wonder if all the world is death marching to doom.

      Pockets of progress can still exist within broader repression. Based on your profile, I’m going to guess you’re from the US? If you want some hope:

      US Senate Passes Bill Giving Children the Right to Plant-Based Milks in Public School Lunches and this ended up getting signed into law 9 days ago. It also overturned an 80 year old provision that prohibited plant-milks from being offered without special request from doctor/parent in K-12 school lunches. (Which I never would have thought would get overturned now of all times)

      Clean energy is still booming in the U.S. despite Trump’s best efforts. Renewables still are going into place because they are just the cheapest option, and the Trump admin has had a lot of their attempts to target renewables paused in court for now. Not that it’s not impacting it at all (it obviously is), but that it isn’t enough to stop progress entirely

      Minnesota’s Most Populous County Implements Plant-Based-By-Default Policy for Official Meetings and Events

      NYC Set To Cut All Processed Meat In Schools, Hospitals, And Care Centers and is going to replace them with whole plant-based foods

      I can keep going. There is a lot of focus in both traditional and social media about the bad news and very little about good news. But there are people trying and when people try you always have the chance to win

      Don’t stop trying

    Critics highlight concerns about freedom of speech and the potential for companies to face restrictions in promoting or competing with their products, even more sustainable ones.

    Want to compete with more sustainable companies? Become more sustainable yourself, simple as.

    Now ban all advertising, please! Make public spaces for people, not products.
