Film Description
My father's answer to rotten wood�?�
Everyone assured me vinyl siding was safe, and would only let off toxic gas in the rare event of a house fire. But after my experience with cancer caused by DES [a synthetic estrogen and anti-miscarriage drug prescribed to my mother and millions of other women], I figured any material so loaded with synthetic chemicals had to pose some kind of risk. Later I asked my dad, “If you had known that over the course of its lifecycle, from the factory to the incinerator, vinyl produces a wide array of deadly pollutants that threaten our future with a global toxic crisis, would you still have put it on the house?” “I hope not, honey,” he said. “But they didn't write that on the box.” So, with a piece of vinyl siding firmly in hand (a remnant from my parent's house) I took off � on a journey to re-write the outside of the box.
