自由開講》台中購物節的繁華,廚餘誰來收拾?

Quick Look

台中購物節邁入第8屆,市府編列三點九五億元振興經濟節慶計畫,卻面臨非洲豬瘟導致廚餘養豬管道中斷、焚化廠負荷加重的困境。作者質疑政府施政優先順序,主張消費繁榮與廚餘處理成本應一併計入城市治理帳本。

Why It Matters

台中購物節邁入第8屆,也是市長盧秀燕任內最後一屆。非洲豬瘟疫情導致廚餘養豬管道中斷後,台中由三座焚化廠每天協助處理約二百八十公噸熟廚餘,也採取掩埋應急。明年度包含購物節的「振興經濟節慶計畫」編列三點九五億元。

十月二十四日,台中購物節再度登場。現金、汽車、好宅輪番抽獎,市府邀請全國民眾到台中消費。然而當城市努力把人潮變成錢潮,另一個問題也應被放上檯面:餐桌撤下之後,剩下的廚餘,由誰收拾?

購物節有促進商業與城市行銷的功能,問題在於政府如何安排施政的優先順序。明年度(2027)包含購物節的「振興經濟節慶計畫」編列三點九五億元。面對持續而可觀的投入,維持城市基本運作的環境設施,是否也獲得相稱的預算與準備?

非洲豬瘟疫情讓廚餘養豬管道中斷後,台中曾由三座焚化廠每天協助處理約二百八十公噸熟廚餘,也採取掩埋應急。這些措施或有防疫上的必要,卻也暴露出原有去化體系的脆弱:一條管道關閉,城市便必須承受大量轉移的壓力。

購物節與廚餘困境,不能說因為辦了抽獎,才造成廚餘堆積。但兩者確實反映政府的選擇:哪些活動能年年動員、反覆宣傳,哪些風險則留待管道中斷後,才加速尋找出口?

消費的收益容易被看見,處理的成本卻往往被分散。商家的營業額成為政績,清運費落到社區,操作負擔進入焚化廠,異味與車流則由設施周邊居民承受。完整的經濟帳,必須把這些成本一起計入,才能判斷繁榮究竟留下多少公共利益。

因此,購物節的成效也應超越登錄金額。餐飲優惠能否結合彈性份量?活動是否同步改善分類與清運?鼓勵消費與減少浪費可以一起設計,讓城市的行銷能力,也成為環境治理的能力。

廚餘政策同樣需要可核對的帳本:各類廚餘產生多少、送往何處、實際處理多少、每噸成本多少,以及設施故障時的備援安排。每天收走的廚餘,都應有安全而穩定的終點。

台中有能力把購物節辦得熱鬧,也應有能力把消費之後的責任安排周全。對台灣第二大城而言,繁華不能只計算結帳時的金額;最後一桶廚餘能否妥善處理,同樣是城市治理的成績。

House Democratic leader expresses support for impeachment of Hegseth: He must step down

The Democratic Party won a big victory in the U.S. midterm elections, taking control of the Senate and House of Representatives. Jefferies, the Democratic minority leader in the House of Representatives, is expected to become the speaker of the House of Representatives and expressed "absolute support" in impeaching Defense Secretary Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his power and undermining national security. Republican Congressman Massie plans to introduce an impeachment resolution as soon as the 9th. The Democrats hold 254 seats in the House of Representatives, exceeding the 218-seat threshold required to pass articles of impeachment, but they still lack a two-thirds majority in the Senate and need to win support from Republicans.

Free Lectures" Gao Jin Sumei accepts financial aid from the CCP. What kind of "friendly exchange" is considered?

Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei was indicted on November 6 for violating the National Security Law and the Corruption Offenses Regulations and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. The case involved accepting funds from the CCP to develop organizations in Taiwan for more than 10 years, and its chief accountant Zhang Junjie was suspected of smuggling out of the country and absconding. The author criticized this as not just cross-strait exchanges, but the infiltration of the CCP's united front, threatening Taiwan's freedom and security.

Zhang Shanzheng agreed with Songji’s relocation. Huang Shijie’s exclusive interview questioned: Why can’t the AI ​​park come to Taoyuan?

DPP Taoyuan mayoral candidate Huang Shijie accepted an exclusive interview with the Times' "Digital Taiwan" and advocated that the next mayor should use Taoyuan's demographic dividend to attract talents, introduce industries, and promote the progress of the aviation city. He questioned the current mayor Zhang Shanzheng’s support for Chiang Kai-shek’s proposal to relocate Songshan Airport and build an AI park on its original site. He believed that the AI ​​park should come to Taoyuan, and the relocation of Songshan Airport would affect Taoyuan Airport’s traffic routes and outlying island evacuation medical services. Analyzing the "ocean current" phenomenon, Tam Yiu-nam believes that politicians of the new generation use this to reconnect with voters.
