What advantages does Cotton have over Synthetic Cloth?

Following are the drawbacks of using synthetic fibre over natural fibres like cotton.

• Most fabric used in "Fast Fashion" is made from petroleum. Synthetic fabrics such as Polyester, Acrylic, Nylon, Spandex and Acetate are all made from non-renewable fossil fuels.  The production of these synthetic fabrics is emission-intensive and environmentally degrading.

• They catch fire very easily, will burn away in no time, mostly synthetic fibre shrink when they come in contact with flame. 

• We cant exclusively use only man-made fibre because man-made fibre does not allow air to pass through does making the Fabric very hot.
