A SIGN OF INTEL-LIGENCE
Eight high tech firms, including Intel, Microsoft, AT&T, and 3Com, 
have agreed to boycott products from old-growth forests.  Intel said 
the pressure to make the policy came from within the company and from 
shareholders. At least one company, Yahoo!, declined to join the 
boycott, which is being organized by the group Forests Ethics.  Savvy 
Grist readers might ask -- Wait, just how many old-growth products do 
high-tech companies use?  Come now, don't be so skeptical.  It's true 
that both Microsoft and Intel have yet to uncover any suppliers who 
are selling them products made from old-growth.  But it's the image 
that counts, right?  Todd Paglia of Forest Ethics said he hopes the 
companies will set the norm for all of corporate America.
