I consider myself environmentally responsible, participating in
re-cycling programs and supporting research for alternative energies
etc, but I cannot resist a healthy debate with my " tree hugger" friends
concerning the radical environmental movement that is destroying
California and spreading like wild fire.........
( seguay to 3d topic :-)) Now, lets not be disingenuous about film
processing and the environment. The truth is digital cameras can be
labeled an environmental disaster. Most models consume 4AA batteries
faster than you can say " I'd like to purchase a digital camera" :-)
These monsters consume more power than any other consumer product in
it's class! Why not purchase rechargables? Imagine the millions of
chargers sucking off the power grid on a daily basis! Use your film
cameras and save the environment!! Visualize the day when we're plugging
in our electric cars for 8-12 hours a day, juicing them up just enough
to drive to " Battery Mountain" to discard a bad cell and purchase a new
one. Pointing to the lime green lake explaining to your kids how you
used to drive your old gasoline car and swim there when the water was
blue. They can experience what it must have been like through your Red
Button viewer. :-)
