Bristol Becomes First UK City to Ban Fast-Fashion Adverts
Greens-run council extends restrictions to SUVs, airlines, cruises and fossil fuel advertising on council-owned sites
Bristol has become the first city in Britain to impose a ban on advertising for fast fashion, according to the Guardian, as part of a wider set of restrictions on advertising for polluting industries on sites owned by the city council.
The Greens-run council will also curb advertisements for SUVs, airlines, cruises and fossil fuels on its property, the report said.
The move forms part of broader efforts by the West Country city, which the Guardian describes as known for its radical political scene, to impose sweeping bans on advertising deemed environmentally harmful.
Details of the specific timeline for implementation, enforcement mechanisms, and reaction from advertisers or the fashion industry were not included in the available source material.
