H&M and Walmart's Disappointing Move
Saturday, January 9, 2010
As many of you have already heard, the H&M in Manhattan's Herald Square has been reportedly destroying their own unsold clothing by slashing it with razors. This is such a massive no-no to be made, especially in this horrible economy. Imagine all of the children who are without food and clothing, freezing in winter weather, and here is H&M and even Walmart, ruining perfectly wearable clothing so not a single being can put it to use. What a waste. You would think such large and reputable companies would consider donating to a good cause or even having a blowout sale.
After the controversy had been made public, H&M decided to reconsider their poor judgment. As of January 7th, H&M has promised to stop destroying their unsold clothing. Hopefully they will decide to reuse and recycle the way this planet has been trying to promote for the past decade. We have not yet heard from Walmart but I am crossing my fingers they make the right decision, otherwise many once-loyal customers will be sure to boycott.
