If we can't use them, no one can.

Recently a New York woman found bags and bags full of unworn winter clothes, thrown away outside an H&M clothing store and slashed with a box cutter. She was outraged at the waste of these garments during a freezing winter in a terrible recession. She attempted to contact the headquarters of H&M, but did not recieve a reply. She then contacted the New York Times in which an article detailing the waste was published. In my opinion this is an atrocity, for a company to simply discard unused merchandise instead of donating it is one thing, but that H&M went so far as to slash the clothing and make in unusable is terrible. Men and women are freezing in the streets of New York City, and this clothing store has to go so far as prevent them from using discarded clothing for warmth.
