Media Bites – Toyota Prius
June 15, 2009
In this week’s Media Bites we look at a new Toyota commercial featuring their hybrid car, the Prius. The commercial is a highly stylized form of greenwashing, since the commercial makes the claim that the car is in harmony with man and nature. We deconstruct this ad and direct people to a recent report from the National Labor Committee that looks at how workers are treated in Toyota factories in several countries.
