Charity Shopping Day Grows to Benefit Local Organizations That Protect the Environment

NEW YORK -- In celebration of National Park Week and Earth Day, Macy’s is partnering with the National Park Foundation and local nonprofit organizations that work to protect and conserve the environment to help raise awareness and generate funds for environment-friendly causes across the country. Macy's Turn Over a New Leaf campaign is designed to support, educate and inspire eco-friendly practices in everyday life, and will include special promotions and merchandise. Last year’s event raised more than $2.9 million for the National Park Foundation.

Macy’s Eco-Shop

Customers can shop online at the Eco-Shop at macys.com from the convenience of their homes. The online Eco-Shop will feature a collection of “green” merchandise for men, women and children, including accessories, as well as cosmetics and select products for the home.

Customers can find Macy’s environmentally friendly private brand merchandise, including Charter Club Eco-Friendly comforters, European pillows and organic cotton 300-thread count sheets. In addition, the online shop features a selection of items for the home such as Calvin Klein Organic Weave area rugs, the Lauren Ralph Lauren Spa Organic Towel Collection and Lenox “Re-New” Recycled Glass Stemware, as well as Nike Organic Cotton Tees and Timberland Earth Keeper’s Boot for the fashion-savvy eco shopper.
