San Andreas, CA – The Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) sanctuary in San Andreas has gone green to light up its 2,300-acre ARK 2000 natural habitat refuge.
Energy from the sun through solar panels on the roofs will provide electricity to offices and barns for the sanctuary’s eight Asian and African elephants along with other animal buildings. “With this solar energy system, PAWS will dramatically reduce the amount of fossil-fuel generated power we use and set an example of good environmental stewardship,” said PAWS President Ed Stewart. “PAWS is committed to providing a better life for captive exotic animals, as well as conserving our planet and its wildlife.”
It will also help the sanctuary’s pocketbook with an estimated $1.5 million in electricity savings over 25 years.
Stewart concluded, “With the conversion to solar power, PAWS further dedicates itself to creating a sustainable world for humans and wildlife.”
