I asked why once, as I watched some neighbors dumpster diving for the perfectly good food. The store said it cannot donate the bagels because it has been sitting out during the day.

I am glad H&M is opting for healthy fibers, since I have snubbed the store because of its cheap factory inventory. Would like to learn more about its factory practices prior to supporting the retail outlets.

As Sara says, it’s always great to have both sides of the story. And it’s a good reminder that no matter how many sustainable advances are made, there are always more steps to take. Let’s hope that H&M takes notice of this negative exposure and connects with a charity that can put the clothes to good use.
