This city just made it illegal to advertise #SUVs. Here’s why. #Edinburgh became the latest European capital city to ban ads for #aviation, SUVs, and more.

"Last month this Scottish city — filled with medieval spires and shadowed by the looming castle on the hill said to have inspired the Harry Potter books — made a startlingly modern decision. Edinburgh’s city council voted to ban fossil fuel advertisements on city property, undermining the ability of not only oil companies, but also car manufacturers, airlines and cruise ships, to promote their products. The ban targeted arms manufacturers as well."

The Washington Post · This city just made it illegal to advertise SUVs. Here’s why. By Shannon Osaka

“We know that carbon emissions are the root cause of environmental destabilisation. They are a key driver of increasingly extreme weather patterns, food price inflation, and water shortages.

So fossil fuel enablers should be made pariahs, not policymakers in the highest levels of government”

Clive Lewis, Labour MP
