The team here at Street Attack was sad to see the Prius Solar Flowers finish their stint last week in the Prudential Plaza, right across the street from our office. The giant daisies, which were decked out in state-of-the-art solar panels, provided visitors with free Wi-Fi service and charging stations for laptops and other electronic devices—giving the term “flower power” a whole new definition. We had also spotted a nearby public bus shelter that Prius outfitted with motion censored, solar powered fans to keep waiting bus riders more comfortable.

The Wi-Fi flowers and ventilated bus shelters powered everything exclusively with energy from the sun, just like the new Solar Roof option available on the 3^rd Generation Prius, the latest member of Toyota’s hybrid, fuel efficient line of cars. The Solar Roof powers a Ventilation System that circulates outside air through your car while your vehicle is parked in the sun. Pretty cool, right?

If you didn’t get a chance to check out the Prius Solar Flowers and Bus Shelters in Boston, you haven’t completely missed your opportunity:  they will be traveling cross-country with stops in New York, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.  We advise you to hit the road (preferably in your Prius, of course) and check out the sunniest thing we’ve seen in environmental, experiential advertising this summer!
