According to a 1992 estimate by the Green Consumers 'Foundation, each candidate in Legislative Yuan elections consumes about 20,000 kilograms of paper--equivalent to 400 20-year old trees--to produce posters, handbills and campaign leaflets.
根據民國八十一年「綠色消費者基金會」的估計，一位參加立委選舉的候選人，大約要耗費兩萬公斤的紙，相當於四百棵二十年樹齡的大樹，以做為海報、傳單、宣傳手冊之用。
