State Rep. Deanne Mazzochi (R-Elmhurst) views her upcoming encore presentation of the "How to Go Green" seminar as a clear-cut example of giving her constituents more of what they want.

“Many district residents want to know how they can make smart, energy-efficient choices and responsibly reduce, reuse and recycle,” Mazzochi said in a press release of her motivation for offering another seminar on the issue. “We were gratified that residents from the first seminar reported that they were able to make use of available energy programs to upgrade their systems and save money. We look forward to sharing this information throughout our southern end of the district so that residents can discover ways to reduce their electric bill.”

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 17 at the Westmont Public Library beginning at 10 a.m. The library is at 428 N. Cass Ave., Westmont.

Joining Mazzochi on the stage will be a panel of speakers from ComEd, widely viewed across the area as the “region’s energy gatekeeper,” the press release states.

"... They have a variety of programs that can help residential customers save money on their energy bill," she said in the release. "ComEd will directly answer residents’ questions about how to reduce their energy footprint; how they can benefit from solar installations; and provide accurate information on everything from energy impact to tax credits to cost recoupment for green energy innovations.”

The event also slated to feature a Q-and-A session with Mazzochi.

“Energy is an essential part of our daily lives and it is essential that we plan wisely for our future goals and needs,” Mazzochi said in the release. “We look forward to covering this and more green energy topics in the future.”

Registration is not required, but those wishing to attending may RSVP by contacting Mazzochi's office at 630-852-8633 or email mazzochi@ILHouseGOP.org.

Mazzochi serves on the House’s Energy and Environment Committee.
