    This is a great explanation of the importance of cotton and contributes to the conversation around sustainable production and consumption. The synthetics we use do not totally biodegrade and sadly as they decompose they reach a point where micro plastics are left. We need to try and return to natural biodegradable fabrics and learn to re-purpose more efficiently.
