Seriously, H&M... slashing unsold clothing? How about donating it? Check out this NYTimes article.
Apparently the 33rd street H&M takes unsold clothing, slashes it up so that it’s unwearable and then throws it for trash pick up on the street. Kind of the perfect image for overconsumption and waste in our culture, huh? Coats, socks gloves all slashed and ruined during the coldest weeks of the year rather than donated to those who could really use them. So sad. Let’s hope the negative press turns this practice on its head.
