I seem to remember that John Herschel experimented in the 1840s with light sensitive extracts made from flower petals and the like. I cannot remember without checking (Out of the Shadows by Larry Schaaf details it) how successful or not these experiments were, but they must have been fairly environmentally friendly. Not of much practical help though.
Perhaps colour transparencies would be better in the sense that you use less materials ... and I've always preferred to look at mine with a hand lens!
