Copenhagen Bans Fossil Fuel Ads on Public Transport; Denmark Launches Reading Initiative
What happened
The Copenhagen city council voted to ban advertisements for products that use a large amount of fossil fuels, including flights, petrol, hybrid cars, and cruises, on city-owned locations like buses and the metro. Separately, Denmark launched the Bogfrø initiative, sending book parcels and educational material to nurseries and preschools across the country.
