What is Jet-Set Offset?
Jet-Set Offset is a New England-based initiative that provides a platform for individuals to mitigate the impact of carbon emissions from flying by contributing to non-profit organizations working to reduce carbon emissions in other ways. Sign up with Jet-Set Offset and automatically donate 1 cent for every mile you fly. |

How to Support Empire Clean Cities
Step 1: Visit Jet-Set Offset to create an account using your email.
Step 2: Choose Empire Clean Cities as your favorite environmental organization to receive your mileage-based donation.
Step 3: Forward email confirmations from past flights to [email protected] or enter them manually. Sit back and relax while Jet-Set Offset tracks your miles from past flights. You are on your way to putting your carbon offsets on autopilot and helping us ensure clean air for future generations.
For each past flight, or each time you book a new flight, Jet-Set Offset automatically calculates the air mileage traveled and Empire Clean Cities receives your donation of 1 cent per mile. For a round-trip flight from Boston to Los Angeles, your donation of $52.22 offsets the 5,222 miles you flew, allowing us to respond to climate change through our clean transportation work. And because we receive your donation directly, it is 100% tax-deductible.

Why Focus on Air Travel?
Reducing or avoiding it is one of the most effective steps we can take as individuals to combat climate change.
Of course, flying less is best, but it’s not realistic to stay grounded. When you fly, use Jet-Set Offset to make a difference with your travel.
Why 1 Cent per Mile?
1 cent per mile is an average estimate of the cost to offset carbon emissions from individual air travel based on multiple carbon calculators. While this may not make your flight completely carbon neutral, each donation adds up and makes a tangible difference.
Air travel is one of the largest contributors of carbon emissions in the U.S. and around the world.
Luckily, there's something you can do about it.

- Flying is carbon intensive. Carbon calculators estimate that just two round-trip flights from New York to Los Angeles can emit as much carbon per passenger as the average car does in one whole year.
- At current rates of passenger flight growth, air travel could account for over 25% of global carbon emissions by 2050.
- Last year, Americans flew a record high 1.5 trillion miles, and carbon emissions from jet-fuel have been increasing 5% per year.
