2026/08/19

In 1932, the Netherlands pulled off an engineering marvel: they built the 32-kilometer Afsluitdijk, turning the salty Zuiderzee into the freshwater IJsselmeer in just two years. This sudden transformation erased saltwater species and birthed a massive new reservoir for drinking water—while also revealing a sunken history of drowned villages and shipwrecks. Islands like Urk and Schokland became connected to land, and today, artificial bird islands and fish channels are restoring nature’s

2026/08/19

The Netherlands’ drink-can deposit system, meant to boost recycling, is being undermined by a booming black market where criminals import cans from Germany, Denmark, and Poland to avoid the 15-cent fee.

2026/08/19

Security workers at Schiphol Airport, backed by two major unions, are preparing for disruptive job actions as they hit their breaking point under a crushing workload. The unrest stems from Schiphol’s decision to cut security contractors, which unions say worsened staffing shortages and created a vicious cycle of burnout and absenteeism. Workers are threatening short strikes and “work-to-rule” tactics — doing jobs by the book to slow operations — with little notice to keep management off guard

Dutch dentistry is in a staffing crunch—with a quarter of practicing dentists trained abroad and over 2,000 foreign-trained pros already on the books, plus 150-200 new ones joining yearly.
