Money Matters 
Every day, consumers make choices that impact on the lives of people around the world.
When a purchase is made at the supermarket, the customer's choice influences which suppliers the supermarket chain chooses to use. By increasing or decreasing demand customers determine, for instance, whether the bananas available are organic or covered in pesticides.
There are 8 locations to explore including the corner shop, coffee shop and farm. Topics include consumer rights and responsibilities, globalisation, fair trade and organic foods.
Aims:
During this activity students will find out what it means to be a consumer. After completing the activity and accompanying worksheet students will be able to:- Identify that spending money has a global impact
- Identify what product information is needed to allow people to make an informed decision about the products they buy
- Understand that as consumers people have important responsibilities
