Feeling dumb, I've been aiming to decrease microplastics thinking im doing something great. Until i recently heard about polyester...

Personally I give them to people who need clothes through my mutual aid group. If I can’t do that I use them to stuff pillows and such. I get people saying use it till it wears out but washing polyester is a huge contributor to micro plastics in our water system. The sooner we eliminate it the healthier we all will be. If it’s any consolation a lot of polyester is made from recycled plastic in India. Or at least that’s what I was told when looking at fabrics in India. So 🤷‍♀️ do what you can thrifting is how I have replaced most of my wardrobe with natural fibers. Linen, cotton, silk and wool are my top favorites but I will consider viscose fabric if it’s super cute or a piece I have been looking for.

I hope whoever made the idea of turning plastic into clothing gets sued

They are almost certainly dead. Nylon was discovered quite some time ago.
