Sydney’s Northern Beaches Council has voted to explore preventing alcohol, gambling and fossil fuel ads on its bus shelters.
The council is currently negotiating a new bus shelter deal. These only come up every decade or so, which means the council could be the first to place a Fossil Ad Ban in an advertising contract.
But some councillors are still fighting the move. This is despite its coast being significantly at risk of dangerous erosion, made worse by climate change. Collaroy Beach is the beach most vulnerable to erosion in Australia.
The momentum is unstoppable. Fossil Ad Bans are inevitable!
