Thank you for the post. It’s fantastic! Since last year (when these supermakets began this project) I’ve been thinking about it, particularly when my daughter got worried about not getting heaps of vouchers to submit to her school. This gets even worse when these “super-supermarkets” specify a day of “double-voucher”!! As you mentioned, the projects of this type which promote consumerism may have tremendous consequences for the future of our children. They are just learning to spend, no matter what.. just to spend and then be rewarded!

Schools in North America are cash-starved as well, sad state of affairs that fund-raising is part of the curriculum.
