Using"Shopping for the Earth" shopping cards, your regular shopping trips can make a difference in your community. Huron Valley Group members (and their friends & families) have raised funds to successfully support land protection proposals that have allocated millions of dollars to protect land in our area.

There are two ways to shop:

1. Mail-in order form to purchase shopping cards for local and national stores. (This form uses Adobe Reader.)
2. Online program to purchase shopping cards from national stores.

Shopping for the Earth cards are great for everyday shopping and as gifts!

Q: How does it work? A: You purchase shopping cards and certificates from us at full face value for any of the participating stores, and you receive cards for the full face value to spend at your selected stores. For each shopping card that we sell, the stores give us a donation of 5% typically and 15% or more for some merchants. For example: If you buy a Borders shopping card through "Shopping for the Earth", Borders will donate 9% of the face value of the card to Sierra Club. So if you buy a $50 card, Sierra Club will get $4.50 from Borders and you'll get $50 worth of books, CDs, or other items from any Borders store in the U.S. Q: What can I buy with these cards? Which stores accept them? Do they ever expire? A: You can use the shopping cards and certificates to buy almost any item at any U.S. location. Cards cannot be redeemed for their full face value in cash. Most cards never expire. Local participating merchants: Ann Arbor People's Food Co-op Arbor Brewing Company Arbor Farms Borders Books & Music Busch's Hiller's Markets Kroger - Click here for information on Kroger Rewards. Produce Station Meijer - Community Rewards Program details (pdf) Q: Which store locations accept the cards? A: They are accepted at any U.S. location of the merchant so they make great gifts! Q: Do I still receive the usual store bonuses and benefits? A: Yes!

Q: Can Sierra Club non-members buy or use these shopping cards and certificates?
A: Absolutely! In fact, we encourage you to tell your friends and neighbors about the program -- it's a chance for them to help improve their local environment, too. Since the shopping cards and certificates are transferable, you can give them to others as gifts.

Q: Can the store replace shopping cards and certificates if they are lost, stolen, or defaced?
A: Sorry, neither the stores nor HVG can replace cards after you purchase them (except at Kroger).

Q: Can I pay online?
A: Yes! With the new online program you can order shopping cards and pay for them online. You can then use the cards to shop online. For the local merchants listed on the paper order form payment must still be by check since they are not sold by GL Scrip--the online shopping card distributor.

Q: I love what you're doing! How can I get more shopping cards and certificates?
A: You can get more cards at any time by mail, or in person at our monthly public programs. Some cards can be reloaded by the respective store cashier and the Sierra Club receives a contribution for every reload, so only one card is needed per person from these merchants. You can also download additional order forms to print and mail. (This form uses Adobe Reader.) Click here for information about the new online program!
