HS: Our corporate shoe program has been out for about seven years now and is available to companies with 200 or more employees who are based in the U.S. or Canada. It's a cost-free program with no minimum purchasing requirements, no set-up fees – no costs whatsoever. Your employees simply buy direct from SKECHERS and save 30 percent year- round on our ASTM Mark II tested slip- resistant work shoes and safety toe footwear as well as corporate casual styles. GN: Can you accommodate companies with uniform requirements that include shoes? HS: Yes. Purchases can be made online at our SKECHERS ecommerce site that's custom-built to the uniform needs of your company. If you require black slip-resis- tant shoes, your employees won't see a brown boot on the website, so they can't buy it thinking that it would be okay to wear to work. That's the beauty of our shoe program compared to our competitors. GN: How long does it take to get the shoes ordered through the website? HS: Orders usually ship within 48 SKECHERS (Cont'd. from p. 1) hours and online orders receive free shipping and free returns, and we never charge restocking fees. If you have an employee that you hire to start the next day or would simply like to try on their shoes before purchasing, they can also shop at any of our 500-plus SKECH- ERS retail stores nationwide and in Canada. We have a SKECHERS retail store in every major city and this is a huge benefit that none of our competi- tors can offer. GN: Are there any other benefits? HS: Yes. Our slip-resistant shoes come with a $5,000 slip and fall warranty that helps protect your company from the expensive consequences of slips and falls. Plus, your employees will enjoy our quarterly friends and family day events, which allow them to extend their 30 percent discount and all SKECHERS shoes for the entire family, including kids' shoes, sandals, casual shoes and our performance line of running, walk- ing and golf shoes (over 3,000 styles to choose from and includes apparel and accessories too).

Aardvark paper straws are by far the most environmentally-friendly option and are marine friendly, naturally degrad- able, FDA/EU compliant and com- postable. It is important to note that some brands use harmful chemicals when man- ufacturing the straw in order to overcome complaints that the paper straws become soggy too quickly or the color of the paper leaches into the drinks. Aardvark uses no harmful chemicals in manufac- turing, and the colors will not leach into your drink. Turning away from plastic straws is unquestionably better for the environ- ment. Paper straws aren't the only alter- native out there, but there is no getting around it: PLA straws pollute the same way plastics do. PLA stands for poly- lactic acid, which is made from renew- able resources such as sugarcane or corn starch. Naturally, one would assume that since PLA straws are derived from natural ingredients that they are better for the environment. However, this is not always the case and can often be misleading. The issue with PLA straws is that people think they are buying and using an environmentally-friendly product. Although PLA is biodegradable, PLA straws and other PLA products become another form of plastic that will take years to break down in landfills and the ocean. PLA straws need to be com- posted under specific conditions to degrade, and several areas don't have common facili- ties to compost PLA- based products, forcing them to end up in landfills. PLA and bioplastics can only break down when all oxygen is removed and temperatures are con- stantly above 140 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 10 days. There are very few places in the world that meet these con- ditions, and when these materials do break down, they still leave behind a harmful residue of "plastic soup" micro particles that pollute the environment and threaten life at the bottom of the food chain. PLA straws are not marine degradable, and when they make their way into the waterways and oceans, they act like regular plastic – when they're consumed by marine wildlife and fish, that can endanger or kill them. Humans as well are at risk via the potentially deadly toxins that become concentrated in the seafood we eat.
