'Major city bans ads for meat, fossil fuels in sweeping crackdown critics call overreach

Amsterdam has reportedly become the first capital city in the world to ban public ads for meat and fossil fuels — wiping burgers, gas-powered cars, and airline promotions from billboards, tram stops and metro stations.

Since May 1, the Dutch capital and tourist hotspot’s advertising landscape has undergone a dramatic shift. Ads once showcasing chicken nuggets, SUVs, and budget flights have been replaced with promotions for museums and concerts, according to BBC News.

Local politicians say the sweeping move is part of an aggressive climate agenda, with goals to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and cut meat consumption in half, the outlet reported.

"The climate crisis is very urgent," Anneke Veenhoff from the GreenLeft Party said. "I mean, if you want to be leading in climate policies and you rent out your walls to exactly the opposite, then what are you doing?"

But critics argue the policy crosses a line — calling it an overreach that attempts to engineer personal choices, according to BBC News...." MSN

If they would talk about "environment" instead of climate, I would be more for their movement of restricting ads, with the exception of burgers. I guess they haven't studied how farming helps their country?

They legislate their religion into law.

Straight from the UN and EU (They're at least receiving encouragement, if not incentives). Remember when they (Netherlands) banned fertilizers for the farmers and what a catastrophe that caused. That was straight from the UN.
