This week we went to the British Library, IKEA, Unilever/Nielsen, and LPK. Overall, I would have to say the Nielsen visit was my favorite because we learned so much about sustainability. I remember people talking about sustainability when I was younger, but it seemed like business people always dismissed the idea as too costly. Now, sustainability actually drives down costs, and consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products. It is interesting to see the changing preference in consumers altering the way business is done.
Another thing I noticed about London is how many different languages are spoken here. The other day, I was riding the train and heard three different languages. I don't know if that is simply because there are a lot of tourists here right now, but a lot of these people I see speaking other languages look as though they live here. In this aspect, I have to compare London to New York, as it seems many people from around the world immigrate here, just like New York.
