Join us to celebrate the kick-off of the WasteBusters competition!

WasteBusters is an annual waste-reduction challange where you choose a pledge, complete tasks and win truly great prizes! you can sign up as an individual or create a group with your family, friends, or coworkers.

All are welcome at this free event; you can sign up for a WasteBusters pledge before or at the kick-off. At the event, you will hear from a special guest, meet local groups and learn more about this year’s pledges. There will be free snacks and giveaways, plus a raffle where you can win a zero-waste starter kit, beeswax food wrap or other Green Neighbors gifts!

The Kick-Off event will feature a talk from Dr. Douglas Wilson, Ph.D., the chief archeologist at the Fort Vancouver historical site, the director of the Northwest Cultural Resources Institute and an adjunct associate professor at the Portland State University.

Dr. Wilson will speak on the differences between modern trash and historical trash, tying in examples of historical waste that he discovered at the Fort Vancouver Historical Site. He has previously worked at the University of Arizona with Dr. Bill Rathje, the original archaeologist of modern garbage and pioneer of the field of "Garbology." This field explores communities or cultures by analyzing their waste. As we begin this year's WasteBusters Challenge, Dr. Wilson will remind us that what we throw away will often say more about who we are than what we choose to keep. If a garbologist were to analyze what we left behind 200 years in the future, what would our waste say about us?

The Repair Clark County program is intended for items that need minor repairs. Items that can be repaired include small appliances, lamps or fans, jewelry, kitchen knives, yard and garden tools that need sharpening and clean clothing or textiles to be mended. Check out the website for a complete list of items to bring for repair: www.RepairClarkCounty.org. There are no guarantees an item can be fixed, or that attempting to fix it won’t break it even more. Only bring items that are smaller than 24” in all dimensions. Multiple items are welcome, but all must be registered separately. No microwaves or gas engines.

Questions? Please email [email protected] or call 360-882-0936 ext. 224.

On December 28th, 2016, former President Obama protected nearly 1.5 million acres of sprawling canyon lands and ancient cultural sites in southeast Utah by designating the area as Bears Ears National Monument. Locally, the controversy has divided the community and riled longstanding cultural tensions. While this political debate unfolds in the national spotlight, "Common Ground: The Story of Bear Ears" seeks to transcend the rhetoric, following diverse characters living in San Juan County and their relationships with the land. The film’s goal is to humanize this polarizing issue, depicting the deep pull within us all to connect with our wild lands. It seeks to bring clarity to the complex and divisive arguments surrounding Bears Ears, revealing the common ground between opposing ideologies: love and awe of a beloved land. View trailer.
