Smart consumer life promotion business

I shop, cook and eat. Make good use of your smartphone and enjoy traveling. "Consumer life" is the life of people itself, but in fact it is something familiar but cannot be understood ...
Major changes in the economic environment surrounding consumers have made the content of products and services more complicated, causing various consumer troubles. In addition, with aging, damage by malicious business law targeting the elderly is increasing year by year in ward.
In order to lead a safe and comfortable "consumer life", it is necessary to be aware of what is a consumer trouble and to respond appropriately.
In Yokohama City, based on Article 16 of the "Yokohama City Consumer Ordinance", we hold enlightenment courses, publish information magazines, hold panel exhibitions, etc. for the purpose of supporting safe and comfortable consumer life for local residents. Through this, we commission "consumer life promotion member" to spread knowledge about consumer life to local everybody.
In Totsuka Ward, approximately 160 people in the ward (Reiwamoto, 2nd year promotion members) are active in their respective districts as consumer leaders.
※District = In principle, the same as the Allied Neighborhood Associations
※The term of office is 2 years (up to 6 years)
