I don't like that this article makes it mostly a binary of polyester against cotton. There's a wide variety of fabrics available that could do a better job of solving environmental issues in clothing. This article makes no mention of semi-synthetic materials (e.g. rayon, tencel, viscose), which have gentler land-use and actually biodegrade.
