JetBlue announced that it plans to become carbon neutral on all U.S. flights by July 2020, making it the first major U.S. airline to take this critical and measurable step toward reducing its contribution to global warming. “Air travel connects people and cultures, and supports a global economy, yet we must act to limit this critical industry’s contributions to climate change,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “By offsetting all of our domestic flying, we’re preparing our business for the lower-carbon economy that aviation – and all sectors – must plan for.”

MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO Jim Murren commented in Fortune on the companies in Las Vegas that are stepping up to embrace social and environmental sustainability goals.

"That’s especially true in Las Vegas, where the Strip’s biggest operators—MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Wynn Resorts, Las Vegas Sands—are the driving force for the economy and some of the largest employers in Nevada."
