For my engineering diploma case study I need to find a suitable material to make a bike saddle out of. The material MUST be sustainable and recyclable. Can you please be specific with the materials. (eg. the bike frame will be made of aluminium 7005 alloy) Please Help!
The Expert answers:
The answer to your question is leather.
If constructed correctly and taken care of it will last for as long as you will.
If it lasts that long, you (personally) won’t need to recycle it. If you use an animal that is bred for food the source of materials is sustainable in the fact that the animal has not been killed for the leather.
The frame for the leather saddle will probably be greenest if constructed of steel. It can then be recycled. Avoid any synthetic materials.
If you want to be really green a wooden saddle will work. It can be burnt for keeping warm if it fails.

You will basically be called a white-collar tree-hugger! 😉
Jokes apart, the world needs people who are entirely and genuinely focused on ways of doing/promoting businesses and business models that are environmentally sustainable and renewable.
I believe this field will bring about the next generation Bill Gates and Steve Jobs; if not in terms of money, then at least in terms of impact!

What aspect can be improved in sustainable tourism development in u.s?What’s the obstacle for the sustainable tourism and ecotourism development in u.s?
The Expert answers:
It might be frowned upon to visit the USA if you’re from a country who has a united hatred for the USA. Other than that the USA has many hot spots for tourism – it is more of an international effort to showcase what the USA has to offer tourists from other countries. For internal tourism efforts states can ramp up what they have to offer visitors and showcase their best locations via multi-effort advertising campaigns.
