Suddenly "public service adoption" was all the vogue, spreading even to schools and colleges. Pupils at Tungyuan Elementary School in Taipei were encouraged to look after saplings on the school grounds, and each sapling had a marker beside it with the child's name on it.
甚至校園內也受到「波及」，如台北市東園國小就鼓勵小學生照顧校園內的小樹苗，每棵小樹前的標示牌上，則寫著認養小朋友的名字。
