Greening Spencer Studio Ottawa Photographer

We Switched to these special Biodegradable Bags back in 2007.
Reusable Portrait Boxes have been with Spencer Studio for over 25 years. A nice safe presentation box that many customers reuse or return to us to reuse.
This year we started producing eNewsletters instead of the traditional heavy paper newsletters we have been mailing. Saving thousands of sheets of paper from ending up in the landfill.	eNewsletters
Supporting WaterCan. OK technically not making the world greener but it is a great project bringing clean fresh water and sanitation to people in Africa who need it most.
Going Digital Helps The Environment Spencer Studio’s decision to switch from traditional film to digital photography not only had many technical advantages but a little research showed us the environmental advantages. Digital saves the environment. Think of all the millions of gallons of toxic chemicals no longer being used to process all of the rolls of film we were shooting per year. Chemicals no longer being dumped into the environment. Digital saves cows lives. Since film is no longer needed and the gelatin used as a bonding agent in traditional film comes from cows, many cows lives will be spared. Interesting Film Facts: Eastman Kodak used 80 million pounds of cow skeletons a year to produce gelatin for it’s films. They even own their own herds of cattle. George Eastman decided to raise their own cattle and produce their own gelatin because in 1930 Kodak almost went bankrupt after buying a batch of bones from cattle fed with mustard seed, causing the gelatin to overexpose the film before pictures were taken.
