Demonstration at Toyota Santa Monica

Img_3758

Stopped by the demonstration in front of Toyota Santa Monica on Wednesday to see a good group of activists holding signs and handing out fliers.

Img_3759 The goal: To get the self-described eco-friendly Toyota to embrace California's fuel-efficiency standards instead of fighting them as part of the Assn. of International Automobile Manufacturers.

Many of the cars going by honked in support -- which made me wonder whether a lot of people actually are aware of Toyota's role in this lawsuit against California, or if they just generally support higher fuel-efficiency standards overall.

De-car-ing: Biked!
