cotton is also native to the United States and became even more popular by the manufacture of Denim created by Levi Straus.

what a shame...hemp is what it should be. over 25,000 textiles and a thousands more uses. from plastic that biodegrade, saving trees from being made into paper and flooring. making concrete without sand that is 20 times stronger and doesn't harbor mold (hempcrete). man oh man, have we been duped.

LoverNotAFighter, my husband and his family picked cotton every year to supplement their income. Hard, dirty, and painful work!

Now most clothes seem to be made of polyester and spandex, it's hard to find cotton clothing.

Player Gigi #28446253, cotton is a native of the United States and is natural. Where have you heard it's hard on the land? I have never heard that one

Player #8610592, got to be careful of plastic breaking down (components) and leaching into our groundwater and waterbodies (although asphalt also does that). Concrete at this point is more eco-friendly.

Both my parents grew up in Mississipi cotton fields. Horrible.

I'm sure there's a certain group of people, that knows about the molecular make up + various uses of the cotton plant. They know this natural fabric extremely well.
