Sir, – Jennifer O'Connell writes that "children's future happiness does not depend on whether their first babygro was made in a cottage in Tahiti using cotton spun from freshly harvested angels' wings or came from Tesco's value range" ("Babies don't care how much you spend on them", May 28th).
Our children’s future happiness is greatly dependant upon whether parents choose to think ethically about the goods they buy.
Our consumption choices now will create the economies of the future. And it is our ethical actions now that will inform both the actions of our children and the world that they inherit. – Yours, etc,
DONAL Mac ERLAINE,
