"Contrast H&M’s quick reaction and public promise to donate unsold
merchandise to that of Borders, who were recently outed by their own
employees as planning to trash tens of thousands of unsold books after
200 Waldenbooks locations shut down by the end of January.

"After more than a month, Borders is still dragging its feet, trying
to stonewall the issue until the store closings are over, and refusing
to pledge to donate any of the books scheduled to be destroyed. In
fact, contrary to their public statements, they've instructed their
employees to keep trashing books, but to hide the evidence by shipping
the books and their torn off covers back to distribution centers in
separate boxes, away from prying eyes who might find the evidence in
store dumpsters! Shocking, right?"
