			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Cotton Week</strong> is just around the corner again, so that means that we have to make sure that our wardrobes include enough cotton products to be able to get us through the whole week. In reality, we should all be wearing much more Australian made cotton, instead of importing year round, but at least everybody adheres for this week in honor. Too many imports are taking away the jobs and money from local cotton manufactures, and this week promotes correcting this issue by restoring a sense of pride amongst its citizens. Keep reading if you want to fins out how so many people pay their respects during this week for locally made cotton products.</p>
<p>Cotton Week is not just another materialized holiday that is only meant to make you go out and buy more cotton products to wear. It is more of a reminder that we should be supporting the local factories and their efforts for a job well done. Even though imports can sometimes be tempting due to their low price, they should only be bought in a minimum amount whenever possible. Australian&#8217;s all need to contribute to local factories in order to generate a stimulation of economy in this country. Every trade is connected to one another in some form or fashion, so it is best to keep that in mind. This is exactly what Cotton Week stands for here in Australia. We have a lot of heritage to be thankful for, and we should always take the opportunity to celebrate our rich culture in any way that we possibly can. It is a fact that most of our clothing consists of primarily cotton, so you can see how much of an impact local factories can have on our daily lives. Make sure to show your devotion this coming November.</p>
