Environmental problems such as pollution and climate change are increasing. The government has taken measures at a global level but they have got only a few solutions. Why is it so? How can this problem be solved?

As devastating floods and terrifying wildfires are raging through the world, humans have realized that the environment has been deteriorating and people must protect

this

world immediately.

Although

governments

have done something to ease the deterioration, people are still unsatisfied with their

governments

and think they can do more. In my opinion,

this

dissatisfaction may stem from

governments

’ inefficiency and their

policy

priorities. To solve

this

problem, referendums can be a useful method to improve the current situation.

First

of all, most of the

governments

around the world, especially for those democratic countries, are inefficient.

This

is due to a strict but redundant legislative process.

For example

, if a country wants to enact a

law

, the

law

should be proposed by a certain number of legislators, and

then

the legislature will vote whether they would like to pass the

law

or not. After that, if lucky enough, the authority can conduct actions according to the

law

.

This

prolonged process usually takes at least a season. Another dissatisfaction with the

governments

is their

policy

priorities. Authorities care more about their performance, and they tend to focus on economic issues.

Such

a preference is because nationals’ life can be promptly influenced as an administrative

law

has been put into force.

For instance

, in

Taiwan

Add a comma

,Taiwan

show examples

the government is keen to raise the basic salary because youngsters, or

first

-time voters in another term, whose salary on average is the least in the society, like it.

Therefore

. it is imaginable that a

policy

related to environmental preservation will be postponed until these authorities satisfy. To solve

this

issue, a referendum can be a good solution because of its effectiveness and efficiency. Citizens can hold a referendum on a new treaty which they think is of utmost importance to deal with a certain problem

such

as an environmental issue. As a referendum is passed, the government must act immediately, and there is no room for bargaining. In conclusion, as

governments

are less efficient and have their

policy

preferences, problems

such

as natural disasters and global warming are so difficult to be solved. Fortunately, individuals can hold referendums to offset authorities’ disadvantages.
