Whats the environmental impact of cameras?

Answer 1

That's got to be very complicated because some toxic substances go into making electronics and others were used to develop film. But since memory lasts a long time, I think digital is likely more green in the long run. On one hand you have camera carrying tourists who wear down ancient ruins, but would probably do that with or without a camera. What they discard is probably a bigger deal. On the other hand, a camera in the right hands can tell a story and make a positive difference. We wouldn't be learning nearly as much as we do about earth and the atmosphere without digital cameras on board satellites. Cameras are (or were) also used in the process of making circuit chips - and so the computer and still better cameras. Now x-ray machines are being converted to the lower energy variety using a digital sensor instead of film. There are so many sides to this, but most are positive in my book.
