WalMart employees wear vests that they LOVE. It keeps them cool.
It’s re-cycled plastic
“They could not care less about the environment, they just hate Capitalism.”
“We have a winner! Show him what he won Alex!”
Most of my clothing is Egyptian cotton. My sheets are also and are 800 count.
And its a very dry gin
No, never; they operate under the ‘Karen’ version of ‘the issue is never the issue’ - the issue is control.
Synthetic material is made out of petroleum so... Its one or the other you tree huggers !
.
Our societal costs of cotton VASTLY outweigh any negligible ‘environmental’ cost of same.
The US is the number one exporter of raw cotton in the world.
Uzbekistan is the 11th largest exporter of cotton in the world.
Farming is too environmentally damaging to be tolerated. We should eat insects and factory-grown algae. We can dispense more easily with cotton, wool, linen, etc., and simply tan the hides of illegal aliens. These are an invasive species that degrade the habitat, and they are in almost limitless supply, so it’s a win environmentally.
How about this time we grow cotton in Africa instard of importing the labor?
During the American Civil War the British began to grow cotton in Egypt (or maybe the Egyptians began to grow it to sell to the British) to make up for the Southern cotton that was no longer reaching them. I don't know if there was any cotton production in Egypt before that.
If we Time Machined back 300 years and stopped the slave trade... I wonder that Liberals would be whining about today?
Now wait one cotton-pickin minute.
Instead of cotton we could wear animal skins... but that would require killing lots of animals. Or we could wear polyester which is made from petroleum... or we could take all issues of “Tree Hugger” magazine - I assume the print version is made from trees - and glue them to our bodies to keep warm.
can I still say “I don’t cotton to that”?
“The environmentalists want to bring black slavery to pick cotton.”
They gonna be out of work by the robot overlords too.
