Planet Clark Neighborhood Outreach Trailer

Planet Clark was founded to create jobs by giving the public easily accessible information and local resources to help them save energy, build and remodel healthy, sustainable homes, and soften the impact on our environment and the community.

In that spirit, the Planet Clark demonstration trailer was conceived, outfitted and officially launched in 2011. It was made possible through the generous contributions of expertise, equipment and materials from more than 20 local contractors and private businesses, including Parr Lumber. Clark Public Utilities and the Energy Trust later provided financial contributions to keep it rolling with enhanced exhibits and more resources.

In 2013, Planet Clark’s demonstration trailer made 14 stops at various venues, including home shows, the Clark County Fair, and elementary schools. Trained staffers engaged almost 3,300 visitors in discussions about building safety, energy efficiency, green building and remodeling, indoor air quality, recycling, stormwater management, sustainable living, water conservation, weed management, and more.

The most recent addition to the Planet Clark Trailer is the 2019 Home Hero Reveal at the Recycled Arts Fair in downtown Vancouver! The Clark County Superheroes will test your knowledge and show you how to prevent disasters from happening. Visit the trailer at an upcoming event and learn how to build it right, obtain a permit to protect you and your family, and making smart energy choices for home health and the environment.
