Visitors tour Rainforests of the World at the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco. It's an appealing 'green' destination for vacationers.

Summer is vacation time, and these days, almost anywhere you might travel in the United States, you'll probably find a "green landmark" nearby that's worth a visit.
