What we want to pass on to our kids

No matter how irresponsible, silly or reckless we might have been as young adults, as parents 2 out of 3 of us want to pass on a sense of 'principled goodness' to our children.

We are more responsible than our own parents in green issues, money matters and good manners.

78% teach their children about how to manage money and to be wise and sensible in their spending and savings.
76% encourage their kids to be polite and well mannered
67% believe that green issues and recycling is important - as a family they do their best
56% have a conscious when it comes to food wastage - there are many in need and our parents want their children to be respectful of food wastage
39% saving the planet is important and that means minimising energy usage
33% set the standard where they can on putting savings/ investments to positive use
23% give time to good causes
19% extend this to giving money to good causes
18% want their job/career to be making a positive difference to society
15% aim to use environmentally friendly forms of transport where they can

Let's hope all this good sense develops a better society !
