Before the annual [[w:Earth Day|Earth Day]] on April 22, several environmental-related events were progressively promoted in [[Taiwan]]. For example, industrial and academical units promoted several energy-efficiency policies, parts and accessories, and products in three recently-closed trade shows (AutoTronics Taipei, Motorcycle Taiwan, and Taipei AMPA) respectively located at [[w:Taipei World Trade Center|TWTC]] and [[w:Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall|TWTC Nangang]] with the international environmental laws and policies promoted in several nations including Taiwan. [[w:Taiwan Railway Administration|Taiwan Railway Administration]] promoted "Twin-rail Environmental Train" (in [[w:Chinese language|Chinese]]: 兩鐵環保專車) for bicycle and [[w:public transport|mass transportation]] industries. And also, [[w:HBO|HBO]] Taiwan promoted the movement of "Decreasing [[w:chopsticks|chopsticks]] to save the earth" (in Chinese: 一筷救地球) to drive the public changing habits on common food habits when using environmental [[w:tableware|tablewares]].

By the way, he also commented on the upcoming event of "Taiwan Bicycle Day" and "Project of Light-weighted Electronic Vehicle" by [[w:Industrial Technology Research Institute|ITRI]] and said: 
{{Cquote|In fact, the Taipei City Government had provided several bicycle lanes on several riverside parks and roads for riding. And about the "Project of LEV" by ITRI, although it was firmly a good idea for energy-efficiency and will bring into reality in the future, but the ITRI should consider some sectors on energy resources and the LEC-related policies must be considered by governments.Generally, not only bicycles, I hope the public can use the public transport like city bus and the [[w:Taipei Rapid Transit System|MRT]] to support the world-wide movement of carbon-decreasing.}}

Will the LEV play a key role on energy-saving?
