Who’s Who in Green: Siel Ju, Green LA Girl

If you want to know about eco-happenings in the LA area, Siel’s your girl. The Green LA Girl blogger has been writing about environmental topics online since 2005, helping Los Angelenos find the hottest green spots and events as well as providing green tips and news to the greater public.

Los Angeles isn’t exactly the greenest city in the U.S., despite its location in sunny Southern California – but that’s more due to the layout of the city, lack of great public transit and too many cars on the road than any lack of motivation among its residents. But, Siel helps LA-area greenies and the green-curious push beyond these limitations and be as eco-conscious as the can be, helping them with things like indoor apartment composting and finding the best local organic grub.

If you’re new to LA – or just new to being green in LA – be sure to check out Green LA Girl’s Guide to Los Angeles, which gives info on food & drinks, getting around, recycling, spending wisely and collaborating with other passionate green peeps.

In addition to her writing on Green LA Girl, Siel also writes at MNN.com, Lime.com and FilterforGood.com, and is a contributing editor at BlogHer.com. She previously headed up LATimes.com’s environmental blog, Emerald City, and was the editor for the L.A. section of WorldChanging. She also writes poetry and recently received her Ph.D. in Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Southern California.

Siel heads up the Lifestyle Channel at MNN, where she blogs about everything from fashion-forward eco-friendly accessories to phthalate-free perfumes that won’t make you smell like a hippie. A lot of us good learn a thing or two from this very green bike-riding LA girl!
