Much better if they're simply given away as charity as the end stop instead of literally sent into the incinerator to try and extract a fraction of the energy that went into making it. At least that way people who literally can't afford clothes get to wear something new, clean and whole.
I agree with that. Edit: But think it's sad that it's something they have to legislate....
The capitalism model doesn't allow room for morals, so literally anything we want done morally or ethically has to be regulated.
