Mother Nature comes to the concrete jungle

THE Great British Summer is finally with us, but apparently the sunshine is not enough to lift our spirits with many of us feeling stressed out on a daily basis.

The wonderful folk at Krispy Kreme doughnuts have found that over half of us believe our stress levels are affected by a lack of contact with Mother Nature and 81% of us would feel instantly relaxed if we were able to take a walk in the park more regulalry.

They have given the problem a lot of thought and have come up with the world's first grass flip-flops to bring summer magic to the city - giving stressed out workers a (literal) spring in their step by creating an instant grassy park underneath their feet.

Apparently the al fresco flip-flops take up to three weeks to grow and each shoe is covered with over 5,000 blades of grass. If watered regularly the unique footwear can remain in season for over four months - creating a simple walk in the park wherever you may choose to go.

What do you think of them? Would you be willing to give them a go in the office? Let us know what you think below.
