However, he is in no hurry to implement it. He would only like to accept the proposal in the non-binding form of a postulate and allow time until the end of 2026 for the review report.

City councillors Eva Krattiger and Seraina Patzen are of the opinion that flying and driving "must not be promoted under any circumstances" due to climate change. The municipal council should therefore no longer allow posters advertising air travel, airlines and cars on public property.
Advertisements for vacations in distant countries, for example, should also be accompanied by a warning that flying causes serious damage to the environment and therefore also to the health of this and future generations. (SDA)
