Green group looking beyond white

According to the Los Angeles Times, the Audobon Society is actively recruiting members beyond its middle-aged white male base.

It's nice that the 400,000 member nonprofit is finally realizing that being green should include red, brown, black and yellow.

And in a time when way too many kids sit at home playing video games, any effort to get families back outdoors and involved with nature is potentially good for Mother Nature and the publlc health.

The political challenges will be connecting the dots between urban and environmental issues.
