In all fairness (and truth), what Sophie’s doing is better for everyone, and the planet, than what happens with the vast majority of donated clothing.
There’s plenty of good investigative reporting on the subject. The TL/DR is: a huge percentage is either discarded in landfills after using too much of someone’s time to sort it, and much of what’s not discarded ends up sent to Africa, where it destroyed the local clothing industry. All those photos of poor kids in Africa wearing t-shirts with U.S. brand logos on them? Now you know why. Oh, and what they don’t wear in Africa gets burned.
