INTRODUCTION
Have
you ever thought about where the clothes you
and your family wear come from, or the dressing
you put on your salad, or the sheets you crawl
under at night before you go to sleep? It
comes from cotton! Cotton.the most important
and widely used fiber ever known to man. Cotton
is used for thousands of things, including
clothes, space suits for astronauts and ingredients
in the food we eat.
How
it is grown, cultivated, harvested and
finally processed into cloth and other
co-products is what you will be learning
about in this story of cotton and Cotton's
Journey - A field Trip in a Box.
