==================
Don't categorize "digital" as a completely "green" alternative to film and
photochemistry. It's definitely not.
==================
the chemicals are used in manufacture of the camera with digital
photography, and in the consumables of film and processing with
film-based cameras. thus there is a fixed cost of environmental
problems with digital and a variable cost with film.
of course, computer technology depreciates so fast that one could
argue a digital camera is a variable cost, needingto be replaced
every 3 years.
