In Southeast Asia there are many markets selling used clothing like this. It provides a good business for the vendor and a great option for many locals to get much nicer clothes than they could otherwise obtain. Googling, it appears similar in Africa.

I'm not sure it's quite as evil as the author implies, though, I don't doubt dealing with the junk is a problem and there should be some recycling infrastructure setup to deal with the junk clothing.

Want to help a poor country? Buy their products at fair rates. They will handle their gardments very well.

Buying clothes made by borderline-slaves and dumping them used on another country is evil. It is kind of green washing pooverty
