FPSC Kicks Off Statewide Effort to Assist Seniors During National Consumer Protection Week

“The PSC is leading sessions at two dozen senior centers across the state this week to help residents learn how to save money by conserving water and energy,” said Chairman Carter.  “Conservation makes sense – both for the environment and the pocketbook.”

In addition to energy conservation, Chairman Carter will discuss the Link-Up Florida and Lifeline telephone assistance programs, which can reduce telephone bills for those who qualify. Brochures and applications on the topics will be available at the event.

The theme of this year’s NCPW is Financial Literacy: A Sound Investment. Recognized nationwide, the week highlights efforts to help consumers master the financial facts of life. More information is available at http://www.consumer.gov/ncpw/.

The public is invited to attend the event at the following time and location:
