700+ replies to the original, and only one person is considering the environmental impact of the madness that is Polaroid!
The amounts of disposed cartridges that our parents chucked away are responsible for some pretty bad soil pollution due to the batteries, and the chemicals used in the production stage were nasty indeed. I am all for bringing back cherished old stuff (only recently I helped bring an 8-Track Cassette car stereo back to life) but the use of this technology is from the same irresponsible age as the motorized leaf-blower and the patio heater. Oh, you have those at home? Then of course you will be upset at my comments. Have fun taking instant photos of a dying planet!
