Labor Day weekend is just around the corner, and while many people use the holiday for relaxation, automakers hope some will be lured into showrooms as well.

Carmakers are offering a host of Labor Day deals, including several on green cars.

While some of these deals apply nationwide, others are only available in certain regions, so browse this list to see if there is something of interest in your area.

If you want more information, head over to CarsDirect.

In San Francisco, Toyota is offering a $500 bonus on the Prius "family" of models—including the original Liftback model, the Prius C subcompact, and the Prius V tall wagon.

The Prius Liftback is a redesigned fourth-generation model based on a new platform, while the Prius C and Prius V continue on older platforms.

In addition, Toyota is offering a $500 financing bonus on the Prius Liftback.

Shoppers can now get 0-percent APR financing for 72 months on that model, in addition to the combined $1,000 of the two bonuses. The offer expires September 6.

Toyota also has another hybrid deal that isn't limited to San Francisco.

It's offering 0-percent APR financing for 72 months on the 2017 Camry Hybrid mid-size sedan (as well as non-hybrid Camry models) "in a number of regions," according to CarsDirect.

Shoppers in California and the Gulf states also get a $500 finance bonus on the hybrid sedan.

While not specifically a Labor Day deal, Ford launched a $500 "conquest bonus" for buyers coming from competing brands August 17.

The bonus is available to all non-Ford owners, but can only be applied to the Escape crossover and Fusion mid-size sedan—whether in gasoline, Hybrid, or plug-in hybrid Energi form.

It can be added to most other current Ford offers, but expires August 31.

Finally, Infiniti recently increased lease discounts on the Q50 Hybrid luxury sedan, dropping the amount due at signing by $2,000.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
