Earth Month at Our Center
April is Earth Month at La Cumbre Plaza! Go green, see how our center's retailers are working toward sustainability, take our pledge to use a reusable bag, and more.
You Pledge. We Plant.
This Earth Month, we are asking you to pledge to always use a reusable shopping bag. Macerich shopping centers have partnered with One Tree Planted this April to fund reforestation and urban shade projects across the United States for every pledge made. We can do this together! Text “IPLEDGEYOUPLANT” to 805.312.9790 to support, or message us via the chat link below.*
About One Tree Planted

They also do educational outreach to teach communities about the importance of trees and motivate the next generation to do something positive for the environment. Trees are such an essential part of restoring nature and biodiversity, so help us help One Tree Planted plant more of them!

Starbucks
Starbucks is working towards a goal of all cups being reusable or compostable by 2030. To achieve this goal, you can now get a “for here” cup at locations with café seating, refill your own reusable cup (including mobile orders), or use a one-time-use cup engineered to be constructed of more recycled materials and less plastic.
