describe the effects of current photographic, digital imaging, animation, 3D modelling, and web design technologies on the environment (e.g., paperless publication, increased energy consumption, battery disposal, waste and disposal problems created by rapid obsolescence of equipment);
describe ways in which environmental problems are being or can be addressed by the photographic, digital imaging, animation, 3D modelling, and web design industries (e.g., use of rechargeable batteries; reduction of packaging; recycling of paper, toner and ink cartridges; use of energy-efficient equipment; upgrading rather than replacing obsolete equipment; recycling equipment slated for disposal; environmental certification of operations [EcoLogo, ISO 14001]).
