What's coming up in your mind if I say Netherlands? Presumably it would be vary from tulips, cheese, windmill, dam, bicycle, wood sandals, up to Robin van Persie. Yes, that's certainly true. But I will add 2 more things that you have to know about Netherlands, or commonly referred to as Holland and its people are called The Dutch: creative policy and creative people.
Why creative policy?
"Creative policy is not only come from, but is also created by creative mind"
To the most of Indonesian people, policy is perceived as restriction or prohibition of doing something. It is because most of the policies in our country are all centered in banning, instead of in regulating. But in Netherlands its rather different. The government establish policy to accommodate needs of people without ignoring environment's sustainability and mankind aspiration.
One of the most famous policies in Netherlands is putting the high price on paper and plastic bag in stores and supermarkets. In order to decrease the use of plastic which contributes to global warming, this policy runs successfully. Not only turn to be more efficient in using plastic bag, The Dutch also become more creative in inventing new innovation of earth-friendly shopping bag. This kind of policy also inspires some countries to do the same thing, particularly developing countries in Asia.
