I don't suppose he would be refering to the chemicals baths used in exposing the film... where does that end up?... I agree, digital... it is a little friendlier and we are at a stage where every little bit counts.
How's this for a catch-phrase... 'I can't believe it's not film'.

".......chemicals baths used in exposing the film... where does that end up?..."
The same place where all the by products from chip manufacturing end up.......a third world river.
Of course if you live in the USA and follow the law you are recycling the chemicals and recovering the silver, yea right!
Commercial labs HAVE to recycle, they are monitored by local Water Pollution Control Districts.

I like both mediums-Digital and Film. I can assure all, whereas I have worked in a pro Lab before, The United States Government is tough on Photo Chemicals. I think Both will survive: However, Digital is Growing and I hope film will also.

I should have know the ansewer was right in front of my face. Hands down digital is more enviromently freindly all you have to do is follow the money since digital is making money the enviromental rules are changing to benifit them. any ways for anyone that cares I shoot mostly black and white film since i don't know a chemist i brought a list of the chemicals that i use for processing to my doctor and she told me something that suprized me the most toxic item was actualy the silver nexted the film base. the other chemicals could be broken down by nature in a few years. Dose anyone know anything about color chemicals?

Graig,
You won't have to worry about "Film" destroying the environment. It will be a slow progression but film will slowly disappear, like the 8 track, VCR's and Rotary phone. All great in there day but in a few years you only beable to get them on EBay.
We have some new young photographers that will never shoot a roll of film. If you note that all film companies are heavy into digital, the reason $$$$$$$$ it's called the future.

And so another "film is dead" argument is made.
It's getting extremely tiring Gerry, and reeks of flamebait.
Personally I see real photography surviving the digital hype like it survived APS, discfilm, and the point and shoot camer.
