Dear Dwell:
I've already found a company that will recycle my old vinyl siding. Now I'm looking for a fresh, sustainable alternative. Any suggestions?
—Roger Knight, Hillside, Illinois
Roger that. Leave the vinyl for your turntable, not your house. One rule of (green) thumb: Stick with materials found in a forest or on the periodic table. Production practices, longevity, and recycled content should also be among your criteria. here are some options to put your well-clad house on the best-dressed list.
