KunstlerCast #49: After the Plastic Fiesta

Many everyday items in our lives are made from petroleum byproducts like plastic.

In the future, people might actually start repairing items rather than just throwing them away. While on the topic of plastic, Kunstler takes on one of the staples of suburban life: vinyl siding. In particular, he explains why vinyl siding sucks so much.
