Environment technology: The Netherlands has brought environmental issues into sharp focus long before many other European countries and is highly susceptible to pollution. This is the result of a combination of factors including the large-scale Dutch agricultural sector, energy-intensive chemical and petrochemical industries, a dense population, and the role the Netherlands plays as a major distribution centre. The fact that much of the Netherlands is below sea level also makes it vulnerable to pollution, as does its position at the estuary of the Rhine and Meuse rivers, which bring contaminants from the highly industrialized countries of Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium.
The State of Arizona, like many other states in the United States, has worked over the last few years to develop alternative energy plans. Arizona is one of 28 states in the US that has initiated a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS).
