Answer: eyes

The common idea that blue eyes are the result of a recessive gene has been proven to be inaccurate and that any eye colour can occur regardless of what the parents have.
There are no blue or green pigments so these tend to be the rarest of eye colours - in fact scientists believe that they have managed to trace all people with blue eyes back to a single ancestor that had a mutation resulting in blue eyes. Before that everyone is believed to have had brown eyes.

Answer: eyesore

An eyesore is something, usually a building, that is ugly or unpleasant to look at.
The wind-farms are often called an eyesore as one of the best locations for them happen to be in sweeping landscape scenes when the wind can blow uninterrupted by buildings. Unfortunately these are also places that tourists and residents treasure for their idyllic scenery.

Answer: polyester

Polyester is actually a whole category of polymers that contain ester in their main chain. Usually however when we say polyester we mean the fabric made from Polyethylene terephthalate often abbreviated to PET or PETE.
Around 60% of PET is used to make the synthetic fibres in what we commonly call polyester and around 30% are used to make bottles, which usually retain the abbreviation PET. I bet recycling bottles into clothes doesn't sound so strange now that you know they are made essentially out of the same thing!
