Banning High-Carbon Advertising

A new policy in Edinburgh prohibits advertisements that promote high-carbon products, such as large cars and cheap flights. This ban resulted from the recognition of a nature emergency and aims to reshape public perceptions of normalcy regarding transportation and consumer choices. The initiative seeks to replace harmful advertising with promotions for community projects and sustainable businesses, encouraging residents to envision a different, more sustainable future. Other cities, including Amsterdam and The Hague, have implemented similar bans, reflecting a growing recognition of the negative impact of fossil fuel advertising.
