Greenster Newsletter #35

#35 - Banning Ad’s

Hi Greensters

🔥 Cities are starting to ban ads for meat, flights, and fossil fuels — turning public spaces into climate tools, not consumption triggers.

🌍 From Amsterdam to Genoa, a new kind of policy is emerging: change the message, change the behavior.

🍓 And on your plate — a Nordic strawberry salad that tastes like summer, without the heavy footprint.

✋ And a quick note — this will be the last Greenster newsletter for a while. We’re taking a break to rethink, and come back stronger 🌱

Enjoy!

Let’s dive in.

🗞️ In the News

🥗 The Green Meal

Summer food doesn’t have to be heavy to be satisfying — and this salad proves it.

Strawberries might feel like a treat, but they’re actually a low-impact, seasonal ingredient in Nordic countries, especially when sourced locally. Pairing them with plant-based elements like greens, avocado, and seeds keeps the dish light on emissions while still delivering richness and texture.

🌱 Compared to meat-heavy meals, dishes like this use significantly fewer resources — less land, less water, and far lower greenhouse gas emissions. Even small swaps like choosing plant-forward meals a few times a week can make a real difference over time.

Fresh, simple, and climate-friendly — exactly how summer eating should feel.

♻️ Eco Tip

Awareness: 🍦 Summer = more time outside = more impulse buys.
Cold drinks, ice cream, quick takeout — not planned, just convenient.

Action: 🧃 Bring one cold drink or snack with you when you leave — in your own container. That’s it.

Water bottle, iced coffee, a piece of fruit — just something that removes the need to buy something on the go.
