[1/5] Protesters and environmental activists with a banner reading "STOP THE POLLUTION" take part in a protest 'People vs Polluters' led by Greenpeace Netherlands against Tata Steel, in Ijmuiden, Netherlands June 24, 2023. Tengbeh Kamara/Greenpeace/Handout via REUTERSAMSTERDAM, June 24 (Reuters) - Hundreds of environmental activists wearing red jumpsuits marched with flags and banners on Saturday into the grounds of Tata Steel's plant in the Dutch city of Ijmuiden to protest over air and soil pollution in the surrounding area. Led by Greenpeace, the activists were joined by local residents who say the Indian company's facility in the coastal city is responsible for high levels of heavy metals in nearby soils. One group of protesters used boats to hang a banner reading "Tata Steel, You Sicken Us" at the port where the facility receives coal and iron ore. The facility is under scrutiny by environmental agencies and prosecutors are investigating alleged intentional pollution of nearby groundwater, which Tata denies.

Hundreds of climate activists swarmed a private jet section of Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on Saturday as part of a day of demonstrations in and around the airport. The environmental groups Greenpeace and Extinction Rebellion organized the demonstrations to protest the aviation industry's pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as local noise pollution, according to the organizations. The wealthy elite are using more private jets than ever, which is the most polluting way to fly," Dewi Zloch of Greenpeace Netherlands said in a statement. The Dutch government is reportedly considering whether to include private jet traffic in its climate policy. The government in June announced a 440,000-person cap on annual passengers at the airport, citing air pollution and climate concerns.
