Globio and Glossopedia Save the Planet One Kid at a Time

My wife and I are lucky to live in Portland, Oregon where nature is so pristine and beautiful. Yet, with so many places in the world suffering from severe environmental degradation, we worry about the world our children will inherit. If people don't drastically change their ways, the future of the planet does indeed look bleak.

We're excited to be working on a pro bono basis to spread the buzz for Globio, a Portland-based non-profit organization. Globio is making the world a better place through giving kids a deeper appreciation of nature. Recently, Globio launched Glossopedia, a free online encyclopedia aimed at elementary school kids with lots of cool features including well-written articles, stellar photography,  fun videos, and interesting audio (do you know what sound a panda makes?). Additionally, Globio provides valuable instructional materials  at no cost for teachers.

With science education budgets in public schools getting slashed, Glosspedia fills an important void. If you know an elementary school teacher, parent, or child, please tell them about Glossopedia since its success depends largely on word of mouth.

Thanks for sharing the info about Glossopedia. I'm sure my seven-year-old son will really love the site, and I'll make sure to tell his teacher about it too.
