The semiconductor industry is responsible for many environmental problems, but depleting sand is probably not one of them. There's just so much sand!

Silicon's most common compound - is the most abundant compound in the earth's crust. It commonly takes the form of ordinary sand, but also exists as quartz, rock crystal, amethyst, agate, flint, jasper and opal. So the short answer would be no - but the by-products from etching on the silicon chips would be toxic to the earth..

HAHAHA! Yeah, right. When they deplete the earth of sand, I guess we'll be walking around on a ball of old microchips? hehe Get real, please. There's enough panic and fear in the world without being rediculous.
