On May 28, the Los Angeles Air Force Base (AFB) and the Defense Commissary Agency held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the commissary’s new rooftop photovoltaic power system. FIJI Water was proud to be one of the sponsors for the ceremony, which recognized the Los Angeles AFB Commissary as the first military commissary in the world to become solar powered.

The solar power system produces enough electricity daily to power over ten households. The Los Angeles AFB Commissary has also demonstrated good environmental stewardship with initiatives that include recycling plastic and cardboard and installing energy-efficient lighting.

Don’t you love it when people serve their country, provide great benefits for their service members, and take care of the environment too? You can read more about the solar power system dedication on the Los Angeles AFB web site.
