Amsterdam bans fossil fuel ads from its metro

People passing through Amsterdam’s busy metro system will no longer see ads for greenhouse gas-intensive products such as gas-powered cars and cheap flights around Europe. Last week, the Amsterdam City Council instituted a ban on these ads in the city’s subway system, which advocates hope will pave the way for larger, more comprehensive ad bans across the Netherlands and beyond. This particular ban will impact the hundreds of large-screen TV ads that play to the 4 million weekly passengers that use the metro each week. https://www.pri.org/stories/2021-05-13/amsterdam-bans-fossil-fuel-ads-its-metro

      This gives room for green energy ads instead.

          Let’s hammer the Twitter Culture too. These ideas and behaviour shifts by true leadership have to spread and grow many times faster than the wild fires they must stop. Skye Richards @skyerich_luna (Twitter) Fossil fuel ads banned are right steps against the perpetration of brain fogging by eliminating distractors. Let’s get clear about where we are. Pollution must end, including the mental garbage we get fed by for profit corporations to the planet’s demise
