REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyle Natural FibersWhat are the benefits (to people, animals, and the environment) of purchasing clothes made with natural fibers?
Chris Unruh 7/10/2019 8:53 PMCotton and wool are created naturally by plants and animals. They have been utilized for years in garments, and have proven to last longer than polyester or other oil-based ester garments; plus they are more comfortable and breathable. Owning classic garments longer is more sustainable than ones you have to replace; plus you're supporting an agro-business and not an oil company (a non- replaceable asset)
