Flores gigantes foram instaladas em algumas praças públicas de cidades importantes dos Estados Unidos. Essas flores são fontes de energia solar e estão habilitadas para carregar vários celulares e notebooks ao mesmo tempo.

A iniciativa é uma parceria da Toyota com prefeituras de cidades norte-americanas. Neste caso, é o modelo Prius que representa a montadora. O automóvel nasceu com uma “alma verde e ecológica”, concebido para oferecer uma condução sustentável em cidades urbanas.

Além de ser uma iniciativa generosa e bem alinhada com o posicionamento do carro, a ação também visa conscientizar os utilizadores sobre a opção do teto solar que está disponível no 3rd Generation Prius (a terceira geração do automóvel à venda nos EUA). A frase “It’s all powered by the sun like the optional Solar Roof in the 3rd generation Prius.” foi estampada na parte de fora das flores, reforçando a bem sucedida tática de construir uma forma responsável de mídia de rua. Inspirador, não?!
