Ski industry!!

Look how line make There skis

Line Afterbangs

Think of toxin free epoxy/glue, maybe use the wood that has been grown sustainably (eg farmed or replaced after the cutting). Here is a simple brainstorm:

A fully environmentally friendly/ sustainable ski will be:

Graphic - designed by a indigenous artist hence supporting the indigenous communities
Wood (idea 1) - harvested/bought from a certified tree farm which ensures minimal/no damage to environment
Wood (idea 2) - harvested from recycled/salvaged wood, eg construction site offcuts etc.
Wood (idea 3) -
Epoxy -  Ecopoxy toxin free epoxy, no VOC, no BPA, no Heavy Metals, water based (http://craftingagreenworld.com/2010/09/10/finally-an-eco-friendly-epoxyresin/)
Factory - an ISO 14001 EMS (environmental management system) certified, meaning that its constantly improving its environmental performance.
Factory - Carbon neutral offseting its ommisions by investing into the green power or green credits through tree farming/or tree sanctuaries.

That was just a short run down, if you need any more info let me know, haha got to put my recently finished Environmental Science Degree to some good use ahaha.

not intending to hate at all, but, the ski industry uses NO wood compared to other industries, and it would be difficult to replace it with somthing more cheap/enviormentaly frendily

i know but i really dont want to take about anything else

ya, i see where ur comin from, i try to make my projects and stuff about skiing as much as i can, even if it may not be the best possible topic

maybe try tackling a comparison between the wood/foam/bamboo/sand-cores in skis ...

thanks man this is a really big help

yes, now that is a good idea!!!

line a bangs

definitely talk about companies using sustainably harvested wood. Bamboo is the best example (actually a grass but same idea) because it is extremely fast growing. But there are a number of companies using sustainably harvested wood for their cores as well. This thread has some good links in the initial post that may help you out.

thanks guys this is all awesome

what he said

Liberty uses bamboo cores, you could use that as an example if you need one.

bluehouse uses bamboo cores as well, maybe a list of skis/ski companies that use alternative sources would be good in your report
