Toyota Develops New Plant Species

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the green-not-just-a-paint-option dept.

oznigot writes "Yes, that's Toyota, the car company. In what appears to be a publicity stunt to promote their hybrid vehicle technology Toyota has developed a new species of plant. Of the Cherry Sage shrub family, the new plant absorbs nitrogen oxide and other substances from the air better than the original Cherry Sage." Update: 10/16 00:01 GMT by Z : Original link removed.

    I thought Toyota would work on a hybrid, it only makes sense.

    What doesn't make sense is why they'd try to make a car run on Goatse guy's leavings.

    Please Slashdot, don't get hacked/fooled again. Too many eyes are counting on you to keep us pure.

    If I had to recall 75,000 hybrids I'd make a fake plant to divert people's attention too.
