OUR PLANET, OUR HOME CONTEST: ARE WE READY FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS?

September 11, 2012 (La Mesa) -- The Environmental Sustainability Commission invites students to enter the “Our Planet, Our Home” Environmental Literacy & Art Contest.

In this Centennial year, the students (our future!) are challenged with a theme: Big changes start with small steps, and every great development starts with a vision or dream. What solutions or inventions can you dream up to shape the kind of world you want to pass on to the youth of the next century?

The entry deadline is October 16. Contest awards will be presented at the fifth annual “Sustain La Mesa” Environmental Festival on October 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Harry Griffen Park.

In addition, the event includes interactive booths and exhibits, the Splash Science Mobile Lab, an EDCO recycling zone, Ms. Smarty Plants, and expert speakers all day.
