About Us

The Golden Spiral was created to educate the public on all things about the environment and global warming.  We actually like the term ‘global destabilization” because what is happening is not just about the warming of the planet.  It is about choices we are making that may lead to an unsustainable life, whether it be through food, energy, consumer, or other type of choice.

We are, currently, the only Los Angeles based environmental e-magazine with a focus on news and science.

editor, Shelley Boyle

Shelley created this site as an outlet for talking about the environment.  Her degree is in Forensic Anthropology, with specializations in Evolution and Biochemistry.  She decided to use her skills to research the complexities of the science behind climate change, global destabilization, and other environmental concerns, and try to explain it in a way that all people could understand and get the relevance in their lives.

After a time, there became a need to expand that further, by changing her site into an outlet for all types of people to write about their concerns, and how they live a sustainable life on a daily basis.  As a result, The Golden Spiral has become a destination for people desiring to learn as much as they can about the ways of our home: the Earth.
