Earth Month at Our Center
April is Earth Month at Valley Mall! Go green and 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 540.252.5100 to support, or message us via the chat link below.*
About One Tree Planted
Our Earth Month partner, One Tree Planted, is a nonprofit devoted to planting trees in both open spaces and urban areas. 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!
