This year’s theme is “Bringing Green to the Table”.  The theme highlights that the words “La Mesa” translates into “The Table” in Spanish. Attendees can explore the interactive booths and exhibits, including topics such as energy and transportation, horticulture and habitat, water, recycling, and a kid’s zone.  Innovative technologies, including the newest electric cars and the latest in sustainable building materials will be on display.  An EDCO recycling zone for hard to recycle materials will be available.
