## Resource

There’s a new plan in the United States to start phasing out synthetic fibers and bring back American cotton, called the Great American Cotton Plan. The goal is to boost the country’s cotton economy, and part of that will include an awareness campaign over the potential harms of plastic-based materials used commonly in today’s clothing. We’ll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads. Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
