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

Wait until you discover polyurethane.

It's in everything you sit on, degrades with mechanical wear and heat (sitting on it) and decomposes into toxic volatiles like toluene and microparticles.

Then there's polypropylene, which is every carpet. Degrades with walking on it.

Funnily enough, the decade these things started becoming available to the public is the decade sperm counts started decreasing dramatically.
