- Intel has created the group "Industrial
Friends to the Environment" it supports
projects such as "save our planet", it allows
school students to celebrate "Earth Day"
which reflects the importance of small
(micro) envrionmental projects, the
production of microships also produces toxic
waste so Intel has to ensure this is taken out
of the country and disposed in a sustainable
way.
