Did you know that sunflowers draw lead from the ground, leaving behind healthier and more fertile soil? Intel is following that example with groundbreaking new technology that eliminates lead from manufacturing processes. To celebrate, the company is calling Second Life avatars to help sow a field of sunflowers on the virtual Intel Island. Beginning March 3, for every virtual sunflower you plant Intel will donate real-world $1 to Conservation International - up to $10,000 - and you’ll earn a chance to win a laptop or other prizes!
