Where to cut costs, where to cut costs ”¦

It”™s been a mantra of business for half the current century. Increasingly, businesses are

looking at their wall sockets and at their waistlines. Nationally, solar panels are going up

and the tire maker Michelin N.A. Inc. recently instituted a tiered insurance pay system

weighted heavily against the overweight and the hypertense.

The Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce”™s Living Green Committee and its Health and

Wellness Club have noticed both the energy and the personal health trends. They will host a

“Living Green and Healthy Lifestyle” event 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., April 30, at the Aula Room at

Vassar College.
