Day 9 – CM

5-21-13

Today the group visited the BMW (“Bayern Motor Works” for those of you who don’t know) headquarters today, and learned about their plans for a sustainable future.  Having recently written an article on sustainability for Point Park’s The Pioneer, I appreciated this trip very much.  The lecture focused on the company’s advances in electric car technologies, and included a tour of the company’s museum.  I loved taking photographs of the bicycles and cars, as you can see below.  I enjoyed this visit much more than I expected (or at least, much more than the NASCAR museum), and will certainly look into American car companies’ plans for sustainability the next time I look to buy a car.  This may not be for a long time, but the discussion today piqued my interest.

Tomorrow is our last full day in Munich and Germany, and I hope it will be as enjoyable as the past 11!
