Green tips
Let’s make it a bit easier to live a more sustainable life.
Know more, do more
The first step to solving a problem is understanding it. We have tips to help you live more sustainably (especially when it comes to your mobile and internet plans).
Top tips to start living more sustainably
It can be hard to know how to start living a more sustainable life. These top tips from The New Joneses can help, covering everything from food waste to renewables to education.
Estimating your carbon thumbprint
Mobile networks in Australia are estimated to create more than a whooping half a million tonnes of CO₂ every year. Your estimated portion, which is the CO₂ created by your mobile network data usage, is your Carbon Thumbprint.
Calculate the estimated environmental impact of your mobile data use by using the Carbon Thumbprint app.
Reducing your e-waste
Globally, people binned 53 million tonnes of e-waste in 2019. And, since most e-waste contains both valuable and toxic materials, we need to bring that number down. We have five tips to help cut your e-waste (some will even help you save money – like getting a refurbished phone from the Second Life Shop).
Australia's first carbon neutral telco
Telcos help people connect in a way that can help them reduce their greenhouse gasses - but they also create a lot in the process.
We wanted to be part of the solution. So we went carbon neutral in our mobile and broadband services (certified by Climate Active in December 2019).
Team work, dream work
We can’t help the planet alone. That's why we work with amazing partners who also care about the planet.
Australia is filled with people doing great things to live green. We want to support them however we can.
That includes our team. Our BE Green group promotes doing good by the planet at home and at work.
