Researchers polled 2,000 Brits to find out what they would change about their personal and social lives. Having a million dollars in the bank, three-day weekends, getting in better shape, and having better looks all made the list.
In the poll, having a better-paying career (41 percent) and possessing the ideal weight (40 percent) are also listed as other personal changes.
Better remuneration for NHS nurses and doctors was ranked second on the list, receiving 41% of the vote, but simply making people nicer came in first.
In addition, 23 percent of Brits said they would prefer a bigger house and 23 percent said they would like everyone to be treated equally, according to the Hello Hydrogen poll, regardless of age, sex, or gender.
The survey found that 34% of respondents would prefer that people had better manners.
On the list of improvements that Brits would make, the environment also ranked highly, with the elimination of fossil fuels (24%) and single-use plastics (37%) as well as the installation of solar panels in homes (15%) and the cessation of fast fashion (12%).
The research’s sponsor, Hello Hydrogen, issued the following statement: “It’s obvious to see from the study, that the environment is essential to modern Brits, from the end of single-use plastics and rapid fashion, to removing fossil fuels. In fact, when questioned, 76 percent of those surveyed felt that one of the most crucial improvements we can make is to address the climate catastrophe.
“Change doesn’t always have to be bad. Utilizing hydrogen as an alternative to natural gas in our boilers can play a crucial part in this transition as we move toward net zero aims and a more sustainable way of life.
Nearly three-quarters (72%) of respondents to the poll agreed that change is typically for the better.
In fact, 84 percent of respondents said that a little change in their lives would be beneficial.
In a broader sense, when asked which areas Brits would modify, finances ranked first (55 percent), followed by social lives (41 percent).
