* LEDs use a miniscule amount of silicon.

Whereabouts ?

Glass is about 23% silicon by weight.


So is that *all* glass ? I can't find any reference anywhere to silicon
being a component of bog-standard glass. Is it just naturally in there, and
if so, in what form ? Or is it put in there for some reason, and for what
purpose if so ?




Got NOTHING to do with the very nasty polluting and carcinogenic
processes involved in making silicon semiconductors.



Yes, where the silicon has been extracted from whatever ore it occurs in,
and then refined
