2026年大暑落在7月23日，是一年中最炎熱的節氣。中醫養生建議此時飲食以清淡好消化為主：多吃絲瓜、南瓜、茄子等當令蔬菜，配合綠豆、薏仁煮成清暑祛濕的湯品；瓜類清熱化濕又清淡可口，是消暑首選。蛋白質攝取也別偷懶——雞肉、鴨肉、瘦豬肉等平性偏涼的肉類，能補足夏天代謝加快流失的能量。作息上，早睡早起、避開正午豔陽，多補水、少貪涼飲，是安然度過大暑的基本功。

Major Heat (Da Shu) falls on July 23, 2026 — the hottest point of the year. Traditional dietary wisdom favors light, easy-to-digest food: in-season vegetables like loofah, pumpkin, and eggplant, paired with mung bean and job's tears soup to clear heat and dampness. Lean, cooling proteins — chicken, duck, lean pork — help replace the energy the body burns faster in summer heat. Early to bed, early to rise, plenty of water, and staying out of the midday sun round out the basics for getting through the hottest days well.

萬安是池上面積最小的村，卻擁有全池上最大的有機田區。1995年（民國84年）受WTO衝擊，村民一起轉型有機耕作，用三十年時間把慣行田變成今日「一根電線桿都沒有」的稻田地景。蕭仁義是這場地貌革命的重要推手之一，每天巡田、放水、除草、抓蟲，用最土法的功夫守住有機的紀律。他和萬安的農友證明，永續田園景觀不是規劃出來的風景，而是日復一日的耕作累積：土壤養好了，水路理順了，地景自然就美了。這正是種碳與永續農業共同的邏輯——先把土地照顧好，碳匯與美麗風景，都是隨之而來的果實。

Wanan is Chishang's smallest village, yet home to its largest organic paddies. When the WTO's impact hit in 1995, farmers here chose a different path — three decades of organic transition turned conventional fields into today's landscape, so open that not a single utility pole breaks the view. Hsiao Jen-yi has been one of the key figures driving this transformation, walking the fields daily to manage water, weeds, and pests by hand. He and Wanan's farmers show that a beautiful, sustainable farmland landscape isn't designed — it's built season after season through disciplined organic practice. Care for the soil first, and both carbon and scenery follow. It's the same logic carbon farming runs on.

今年七月，台灣爆發近十年最大宗的食用油食安事件：中聯油脂逾1,300公噸大豆沙拉油苯駢芘（一級致癌物）超標達四倍，流入泰山、福壽、福懋等下游廠商，波及超過千家業者、逾440項產品，從星級飯店到超商貨架無一倖免。更讓人在意的是，問題其實在四月就被下游廠商發現，卻延遲兩個月才通報主管機關。

這正是ESG裡「G（治理）」被低估卻最致命的一塊。沒有治理，E（環境）與S（社會）都只是口號：供應鏈溯源制度形同虛設，出事時企業只能被動下架、道歉、賠償，員工與消費者的健康卻已經承擔了風險。對企業而言，能不能說清楚「我的原料從哪裡來」，不是加分題，而是保護員工——公司最重要資產——最基本的責任。種碳平台相信，土壤到餐桌的每一段旅程都該留下紀錄，這也是我們持續推動溯源與碳匯監測系統的原因。

In July 2026, Taiwan faced its worst cooking-oil safety scandal in a decade: over 1,300 tonnes of soybean oil contaminated with benzo(a)pyrene — a Class 1 carcinogen — at four times the legal limit, traced to Chung Lien Oil & Fat and distributed through major refiners to more than a thousand downstream businesses. The contamination was flagged internally in April but not reported to regulators until late June. It's a stark reminder that the "G" in ESG — governance — is what makes traceability real. Without it, environmental and social commitments are just words. Knowing exactly where your inputs come from isn't optional; it's the most basic way a company protects its employees, its most important asset.

2026年是強聖嬰年，NOAA預估年底前有超過六成機率演變成「超級聖嬰」。六月起，西歐已出現破紀錄熱穹頂：法國飆破44.3度、西班牙上百測站超過40度，短短數週歐洲已累計逾1,300起與高溫相關的超額死亡。七月中，颱風巴威在中國陸地滯留超過60小時，為遼寧、河北帶來打破紀錄的暴雨（瀋陽單日雨量超越當地平日半年雨量），隨後又轉向侵襲久違的北韓。

相較之下，位於北迴歸線上的台灣，這個夏天雖然炎熱，卻還沒有遭遇同等級的公共安全危機，某種程度算是幸運。但氣候變遷不會因為我們僥倖躲過就停下腳步——下一場極端天氣，未必總會轉向。土壤有機碳的累積，正是眼下企業與消費者都能參與、成本相對最低的自然解方之一：健康的土壤保水抗旱、涵養韌性，也是我們與氣候風險拉開距離的第一道防線。

2026 is shaping up to be a strong El Niño year, with NOAA putting the odds of a "super El Niño" by year-end above 60%. Western Europe has already seen record-shattering heat domes since June — 44.3°C in France, over 100 Spanish weather stations above 40°C, and more than 1,300 heat-related excess deaths in a matter of weeks. In mid-July, Typhoon Bawi stalled over mainland China for more than 60 hours, dumping record rainfall on Liaoning and Hebei before curving toward North Korea. Taiwan, sitting on the Tropic of Cancer, has so far been spared a comparable public-health crisis — but that's luck, not immunity. Soil organic carbon remains one of the most accessible nature-based solutions available to both businesses and consumers: healthier soil holds water, resists drought, and builds the resilience we'll need for whatever storm doesn't turn away next time.
