What organizations are collecting the information?
In addition to our direct collection of information, our third party service vendors (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses and banks) who may provide such services as credit, insurance, and escrow services may collect this information from our Visitors and Authorized Customers. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use personal information provided to them from Visitors and Authorized Customers. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information given to them.

How does the Site use Personally Identifiable Information?
We use Personally Identifiable Information to customize the Site, to make appropriate service offerings, and to fulfill buying and selling requests on the Site. We may email Visitors and Authorized Customers about research or purchase and selling opportunities on the Site or information related to the subject matter of the Site. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to contact Visitors and Authorized Customers in response to specific inquiries, or to provide requested information.

With whom may the information may be shared?
Personally Identifiable Information about Authorized Customers may be shared with other Authorized Customers who wish to evaluate potential transactions with other Authorized Customers.

Are Cookies Used on the Site?

Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information to comply with law. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information in order to comply with a court order or subpoena or a request from a law enforcement agency to release information.

Can a Visitor delete or deactivate Personally Identifiable Information collected by the Site?
We provide Visitors and Authorized Customers with a mechanism to delete/deactivate Personally Identifiable Information from the Site’s database by contacting linda@forcedgreen.com. However, because of backups and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete a Visitor’s entry without retaining some residual information. An individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and we will not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to that individual in any way moving forward.

What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We will let our Visitors and Authorized Customers know about changes to our privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site.

I am sure that your Crocs are getting a little worn by now.  The bottoms are
starting to smooth out and are probably scratched, stained, etc.

Why not recycle them?

Your local Crocs retailer has a recycle bin and/or you can ship them to Soles
United.

Soles United (a non-profit organization) takes them and recycles the shoes, boxes them up and ships them out to organizations that can make sure the shoes reach
those who need them.  Their goal is to donate more than two million
pairs of recycled Crocs shoes worldwide.  They are also helped by
Brother’s Brother Foundation and Feed the Children.

Go to http://www.solesunited.com and really see how they work!

Their next stop is to bring 10,000 pairs to Haiti.

Why not join the effort!

So, our hero grabs his rod and reel, gets down on his hands
and knees, coughing and gagging, with tears in his eyes,
expertly flings the line towards the skunk. About the 37th
time, he got it. Not really wanting to, he reeled it in.

The optimal place to rid himself of his “catch” was away from
the house, across the two lane highway, and into the woods.
Each way down the road, still a good ways off, cars are coming.
The family genius caculates he can get a running start up to and
across the road and just on the other side, give the reel a hefty
sling, cast the line a good 75 to 100 feet into the woods, cut
the line, and get back before the traffic passes.

Good solution. Except for the fact that Professor Quick Draw
forgot to factor into his calculation, how smooth the soles are
on cowboy boots and how slick asphalt roads get after the dew falls.

At full speed, with the dead skunk flying like a flag on his rod
and reel over his shoulder, he leans back and starts the best
cast of his life, when his feet slip out from under him. Momentum
slides him to the middle of the road. When he comes to a stop,
he’s looking straight up at the stars….and the stinky dead
skunk coming down right at him! He manages to get his head out of
the way, but, his right shoulder and arm got a direct hit.

No time to get up or give in to the involuntary retching, he had
to quickly roll into the ditch to avoid the on coming traffic.
After a while he regained control of his body. Staggering to his
feet, this man among men retrieved his rod and reel, skunk still
attached, gave it one last cast to it’s final resting place in
the woods, cut the line, and wobbled home.

His wife made him stand outside, strip butt naked, bath in tomato
juice, and sprayed him down with the water hose. Then burned his
shirt and jeans.

These days my brother is extremely patient and tolerant of Mother Natures
creatures. “If they wander into your area, let ‘em be, they’ll leave the
way they came in.” I wonder what made him such a gentle man.
