California's Top Attractions

As expected from such a large state, there's numerous attractions in California! Here we list only the top ten. California is a beautiful state - and keeping it beautiful is our responsibility. Many of the attractions in California have been responsible businesses by making efforts to have minimal negative impacts on the environment. Attractions that pollute our clean air for example, are contributing to the degradation of our natural environment, and are not keeping California beautiful - to say the least. Before choosing an attraction to visit, investigate not only the fun they provide - but at what expense to the environment.
