Pspots offer an environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional model of printing. Whereas currently, a building might contain as many as 100 printers servicing only their owners, the same building is now serviceable by only 1 or 2 Pspots. This remarkable saving is based on the fact that people infrequently use printers and by sharing access to one printer, considerable reductions in manufacturing waste and carbon emissions can be achieved. We setup printers in public places. Anyone who wants to use our printers visits us online, uploads the job and then walks over to any of our locations and collects their prints.

OneProsper is a Canadian non-profit organization focussed on harnessing innovation to end hunger. Seventy-Five percent of the world's poorest people are smallholder farmers that depend upon their crops for both food and income. therefore, helping smallholder farmers to improve productivity is the world's single most powerful lever for ending hunger and poverty. We help smallholder farmers in India, earning $1 per day to improve their crop yields through drip irrigation. This enables them to earn an additional $400 per year within one harvest. As a result, they can feed their malnourished children more nutritious food, milk and spend more money on their books and education.
