While reading these numbers, you also have to remember how prices have risen in the past 23 years. When the prices rose, the income had to rise as well to keep up. Compared to other companies selling cotton, Sally's cotton is fairly cheap. Especially with the economy the way it is now. The average person would have no problem buying Sally's cotton because of the great deals she gives. With all of the hard work put in, the price is very reasonable.

So Sally now caters to smaller businesses and hopes it will start to grow larger. She even met two regular men who's grandfather used to own a mill. But once they got older, the dyes had contaminated the water supply and the mill had to be shut down. But with Fox's cotton, they hope to open it up again and set an example to people around the world that they can still be environmentally safe while being efficient. This is just one example of how Sally Fox's invention has helped regular people in a community.
With cotton dyeing plants, our water supply could be contaminated at anytime and effect us drastically. It already has after the harvest was destroyed when the dye plant spilled. So something as simple as changing the type of cotton we use can help the environment and ourselves. Sally Fox's dreams of making a difference have already come true and hopefully continue throughout time.

The natural colored cotton was good for the economy of the time. During the 1980's, the U.S was going through a recession. Farmers were especially effected because all of the farm products were imported from India, China, and other countries. This did not help Fox's company but she kept moving forward regardless. People in the long run were spending less money because it was inside the country. The companies using toxic dies also have to pay 2 more dollars per pound to pick up toxic waste which is costing people more money and costing our Earth more damage.

Economic Impact
The colored cotton didn't cost anything to invent because it was naturally colored. Although it didn' t cost anything, it takes almost 10 years to come up with new colors. Sally also wove each piece of cotton to see which ones were the easiest to weave. Not only did she do that, she also had to tend to her crop out in the field. There was no cost, but it did take a lot of time and dedication.
FoxSally Fox's experiments started with pots on her back porch and eventually grew to being planted in her backyard. From there she started her business. Starting out, she did all of the finances on her own. She never imagined it would grow into the striving company it is today. Eventually she attained an increasing amount of money and started to expand her cotton empire.
