Hebridean Windfarm Plans
Research by MORI Scotland shows virtually all (99%) residents on Lewis and North Harris are aware of the proposals to build windfarms on the islands.

Saving The World Will Have To Wait - Most Americans Need Convincing
Britons are now much more willing to take action to reduce climate change than Americans, who remain unconvinced of the need to change their behaviour, despite being the world's biggest polluter.

Young People And Healthy Living
"My Body, My Self" is the second study from the Nestlé Social Research Programme, with data collected by MORI. It looks at young people's values and motives about a healthy lifestyle. The study is full of fascinating facts about a generation whose awareness of health risks seems not always to be reflected in their behaviour. There are marked differences between the sexes, especially when it comes to exercise and what motivates young people to take part in physical activities. The summary goes on to suggest that the key for this age group seems to be either enjoyment of the activity or how it improves their appearance.

Public Opposition To 'Unfair' Inheritance Tax
MORE than two thirds of British people (69%) think it unfair to tax a person's estate after their death, according to new research from MORI. The survey, for Friends Provident, looks at views on inheritance tax, it's fairness as a means of generating tax revenues, and whether the current threshold (£263,000) is considered correct. Most people (57%) think the threshold should be raised and two thirds (67%) believe a 'banding' system should be introduced, so that smaller amounts attract a lower rate and larger sums a higher rate.
