In Toda City, Saitama Prefecture, the 'Toda City Life Support Package Plus' will be implemented from July through August, aimed at helping citizens spend the summer 'wisely, coolly, and lightly.'
Last December, the city implemented the 'Five Life Support Packages to Protect All Generations,' a program totaling approximately 1.25 billion yen, which included measures against rising prices such as issuing the premium gift certificate 'TODAPAY' and making water and sewage charges free. Meanwhile, with days of 40°C or higher now officially termed 'extreme heat days,' this summer is expected to be severely hot, raising concerns about the increased burden of electricity bills due to air conditioning use. Therefore, Toda City is promoting 'energy-saving efforts' and will open local public facilities as 'energy-saving spots,' advancing the following three main initiatives:
'Life Support Package Plus' Business Content:
1. Distribution of 'Energy-Saving Guides' to all households to help practice energy conservation in daily life.
2. Granting 20 'TODAPAY' points once a day to those who visit designated 'Energy-Saving Spots' (Toda City public facilities).
*Point granting period: July 18 (Sat) - August 31 (Mon).
3. Distribution of 'Powder Drinks' (limited quantity) at 'Energy-Saving Spots' to promote the use of eco-friendly personal bottles.
