Opened in 1973, and the home of the US’s first Macy’s to be open 24 hours during the holiday season, the Queens Center Mall has made a significant commitment to environmental sustainability. As a part of their goal to maintain a healthy and environmentally friendly atmosphere for their employees and customers, the mall uses only green cleaning products whenever possible, and has made changes in lighting to cut down on energy use. Their security team even uses electric vehicles instead of those that run on gas.
