Cleaning up city

AMSTERDAM is putting its foot down and telling British men between the ages of 18 to 35 to “stay away” from the city’s notorious sex and drug scene and Red Light District as part of an attempt to clean up the city’s reputation.

The Dutch City’s council launched an online advertisement campaign on Wednesday, March 29 which highlights the consequences for criminal behaviour in a video which aims to raise awareness about the risks of excessive drug and alcohol use. The online adverts will be triggered when internet users in the UK search for phrases including ‘pub crawl Amsterdam’, ‘stag party’, and ‘cheap hotel’.

The move is believed to be part of the city’s attempt to clean up its raunchy reputation and manage over ­ tourism, which includes a proposed move of the city’s infamous

Red Light District. The Dutch capital has

80 long been a popular destination for British tourists seeking to indulge in the city’s infamous pleasures. However, locals have grown tired of drunken Brits urinating in public, vomiting in canals, and engaging in drunken fights. While some have criticised the targeted campaign for being discriminatory, the city says it wants to be more liveable for residents. of examined environmental claims in the EU were found to be vague, misleading or unfounded and 40 per cent were unsubstantiated.

More than 80 million Easter eggs are sold in the UK each year.

The absence of common rules for companies making voluntary green claims leads to

‘greenwashing’ and creates an uneven playing field in the EU’s market, to the disadvantage of genuinely sustainable companies.

When companies choose to make a ‘green claim’ about their products or services, they will have to respect minimum norms on how they substantiate these claims and how they communicate them.
