Join Jodi Marks, home improvement expert and television host, as she introduces us to the Solar Decathlon. Plastics Make it Possible was there to talk about the innovative ways plastic materials can be incorporated into building and construction projects to make the finished product more energy efficient. In this video, Jodi talks us through what we can expect to see as we tour the houses that were erected on the National Mall in Washington D.C. this past October.
