Reseeding sandals.

A sandal that seeds the earth as it wears out: nice idea. Johnny Applesandal, by design house Lift, engages in phytoremediation. That is, as the tread of the footwear gets thinner through use, embedded seeds that actually clean up the soil are left behind. When they're completely worn out, just send what's left back to the manufacturer for "disassembly and material reclamation."
