Well, I'm disgusted

A New York Times article talking about H&M and Walmart stores destroying unsold merchandise rather than doing anything at all useful or responsible with it.

I understand that you don't just want to toss it out the back. People might stop coming in the front, but there are better options than adding it to a landfill. Turn it into good press: "Walmart donates some tons of clothing to the needy." Recycle it. Something. Anything.

What disconcerts me the most is the thought of who else might be doing this, and why it takes them being publicly outed for them to stop.
