All those petrochemicals that go to make a one use item, there goes the environment again

Maybe add a "Ha-Ha" in your post JR1.....so we know if you were serious or not.

Otherwise, I sure hope you live free of anything that is not 100% natural. Oh wait, it seems you use a computer. Imagine all the environmental issues caused when all the different computer components were fabricated.

Doh!

I'm just trying to think of a photo lighting problem where a chemical lightstick is the answer. There are so many better solutions.

I used to use them for night diving, and I don't even do that anymore. These new LED lightsticks are way brighter and last just as long on tiny batteries.

I also used to keep them handy for marking guy lines, but LEDs replaced those too.

Haven't bought any in years.
