New Green Gift Card at Queens Center

Queens Center Mall (QCM) unveiled an innovative way that will have shoppers becoming more eco-friendly.
The Give Green Gift Card was recently launched by QCM, together with American Express, to benefit the environment.
“Our shoppers in the metro area want to make a difference for the environment, and our new Give Green Gift Card gives them an easy way to do something worthwhile and also feel good about their purchase,” said Dawn Simon, marketing manager at Queens Center.
The card will serve to benefit American Forests, the country’s oldest nonprofit citizen conservation organization. Macerich, Queens Center’s parent company, plans to donate at least $100,000 to this nonprofit thru the Give Green Gift Card program.
Founded in 1875 by physician and horticulturalist John Aston Wader, American Forests’ work not only includes planting trees, but also teaches the public about the environment and working at the national level to bring forth better regulations concerning trees.
Earlier this year, a survey by Kelton Research showed that 95 percent of women agreed that more should be done to improve the environment, and 63 percent said they would prefer to receive a gift card that supports a worthwhile environmental cause versus a gift that does not.
The Give Green Gift Cards are available now at the Guest Services location in Queens Center. For more information, you can visit www.givethegiftcard.com.
