polder

In 1948 two Dutch physicists, Hendrick B. G. Casimir and Dik Polder, first realized that the zero-point energy can’t always be ignored.

This approach is so ingrained in Dutch politics, there is a name for it: the ‘‘poldermodel,” with polder meaning “land reclaimed from the sea.”

This mini red retro bin by Polder solved a marital conflict for us earlier this year.

Now pumps are run by diesel, not wind, but the polder landscape of small rectangles of land surrounded by drainage channels remains.
