It's a short article describing the strange materials people are experimenting with to make clothing. There is mushrooms, pineapple, PVC, and others. It's light on details (maybe there are other better articles with more technical information), but I thought it was interesting and worth sharing and discussing.

Who cares how much water goes into growing cotton? It all returns to the environment. If the cotton growers can grow their crop economically by pumping lots of water, then great. If they can't, then they should switch to something else.
Personally, I hate cotton. Every time I wear it I feel like I'm choking. I'd much prefer to wear clothing made exclusively from bamboo fiber, or carbon fiber, but those are still too expensive and not widely used.
