Environmental Reasons

• Consumers are increasingly aware of their environmental footprints, which is a reason that they choose cotton. It is biodegradable, natural and a renewable fiber. According to Cotton USA, it has a role in the reduction of greenhouse gases that aid global warming. Cotton plants are useful to the environment because they take CO2 from the air and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Purchasing cotton encourages more cotton plants to be planted and cultivated, which might reverse some environmental damage.
  
  

Comfort

• Cotton is a soft fabric that is light to the touch and keeps people cool. Hospitals trust cotton for babies' first outfits because it is smooth. Their skin does well with cotton, and it appreciates cotton cloth diapers too. Cotton is unique because it breathes, which means that it permits air to circulate. It never traps moisture, which makes it perfect for hot summer days. It provides people with clothing that does not seem restrictive, which makes it one of the most comfortable fabrics that exist.
  
  

Helps the Economy

• According to National Cotton Women's Community, the cotton industry employed around 440,000 Americans to produce and process cotton grown in the United States in 2001. Cotton is a major crop in America, which means that money spent on cotton clothes does not go towards outsourcing cotton production to people in other countries. Purchasing 100 percent cotton clothes that were grown in the U.S. encourages the economic improvement by making sure that domestic cotton industry employees have job security.
  
  

Good for Sensitive Skin

• Cotton is a hypoallergenic fabric, which means that it should not cause allergic reactions that some other fabrics might cause. According to the Cotton Promotion article "Benefits of Cotton," dermatologists recommend that people who have excessively dry skin wear 100 percent cotton clothes. People with sensitive skin and asthmatics can wear it without worrying about uncomfortable problems. It is not scratchy to the touch, which prevents people from getting rashes and irritation.
  
  

Versatile

• Cotton is used in many different products including sheets, sofas, reusable grocery bags, towels and cushions. Many items of clothes are made from cotton for each season of the year. Cotton clothing can be worn for dressy and casual occasions. It is ideal for working out in because it airs out sweaty armpits. It looks nice worn to church as well.
