GLOBAL LEARNING OUTREACHWelcome to the GLO BLOG! We will be featuring stories on how to live a greener lifestyle and sharing information about scholarships, grants and funding to help increase access to education.
Project GLO’s mission is to mobilize people to help increase access to education worldwide by writing with an Eco-Friendly GLO PEN made out 100% recycled paper and corn plastic!
Each person who writes with a GLO pen, directly supports education and literacy around the world because we donate 100% of our profits to educational related non-profit organizations. You can apply for our funding directly at
www.projectglo.com When consumers make the simple decision to purchase a GLO pen, rather than a common plastic pen, they are supplying money that is used to increase access to education while supporting the environment.
GLO PENS are now stocked in some major stores in NYC. Please visit these retailers and support GLO!
