two-thirds want to learn more about wildlife and nature, about the same amount (62%) want to learn more about environmental issues, and almost half (47%) want to know more about where food comes from.

This compares to 37% of those who want to learn more about art, computing 36% and 35% for science, according to the survey.

Six to ten parents tell their children to persuade them to be more environmentally friendly.
