New Joneses, The (ATOM Study Guide)

NB: This study guide includes both a full guide as well as a condensed Grab and Go version.

The New Joneses is an online documentary series about the actions we can take to protect people and the planet. Across three seasons, The New Joneses explains how we can reduce the impact of climate change and live a little greener.

Conceived by Tamara DiMattina during a trip to Antarctica in 2010, The New Joneses isn’t just a web series. For ten years, The New Joneses has promoted simple solutions to climate change that we can all be part of through reusing, recycling and making do with less. The eco-movement’s sustainability initiatives highlight the positive impact that affordable and achievable actions can have on people and the planet.
