Listen, we're not saying "don't eat", or "don't go to work". We're just saying that we can provide top-quality tech support to you, your family, your business, and anyone else who cares about the environment, without giving the atmosphere a kick in the groin. Transparen's tech support is big-business, but we're people too and we care about things like being able to breath.

Breathing is as important to us as it is to the next person, and Canada has for better or for worse made some pretty strong commitments to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gas.

We could be out on the streets trying to convince drivers to conserve oil and work from home but we know that it doesn't work that way. Instead, we're offering a computer tech support service for a significantly lower price than companies will be able to find elsewhere, hinging on the economic benefits accrued by avoiding "crude".

There's another reason - when the computers are not working, people have to drive more because broken computers are not usable, and they're stressful, and Starbucks or Tim Hortons is a few blocks away. With instantly available remote tech support service, we can help reduce stress, reduce trips to the local coffee shops, and perhaps even drive a bit less.

Reducing stress probably means we can help sedentary drivers lose a bit of weight. There are environmental and physical benefits to using Transparen's tech support service. We can make work more productive, reduce stress (which is a risk factor leading to consumption of carbs), reduce your own need to use a vehicle, and we do all of this for many many companies while comfortably stationed in one place not using a car. The only thing we could do to make it even better would be to power our computers and lights using an exercise bike.

And we're working on that part too.
