Crocs are a comfortable and durable enough choice for footwear but our taste for them may tire sooner than they do. Some companies, like Whole Foods, have Crocs recycling programs where you can turn your Crocs in when you or them have had enough. Another easy alternative is to craft a planter out of them by simply nailing them to a tree, hanging them, or even just setting them in the garden. The ventilation holes work perfectly for water drainage as well.
