Atmos Energy Introduces Online Carbon Emission Calculator
New information tools help the public understand their effects on the environment

Dallas, Texas (April 2, 2009) - In honor of Earth Day, Atmos Energy Corporation (NYSE: ATO) is introducing an updated collection of online applications on its Web site to help people understand how their energy use affects the environment.

You can discover the size of your "carbon footprint" with the improved capabilities of Atmos Energy’s online energy management tools located at www.atmosenergy.com/energytips. These tools show how you can better manage your energy use to help the environment and your household budget.

"The enhanced tools on our Web site quickly tell you how much carbon dioxide your lifestyle produces, based on your home’s energy use," said Kim R. Cocklin, president of Atmos Energy. "Understanding our personal effect on the environment is one of the first steps we can all take to help keep the Earth healthy."

What exactly does "carbon footprint" mean? It’s the effect of personal or business activities on the environment, as measured in pounds of carbon dioxide produced. The smaller your carbon footprint, the less harm you cause to the environment.

The latest enhancements to the natural gas distributor’s Web site include:

Energy Profile: Find out how much carbon your home is producing in addition to calculating your home’s energy use by completing an Energy Profile questionnaire. Users will receive a personalized energy-use and carbon emissions report that includes energy-saving advice and calculates the payback of these recommendations.

Energy Calculator: Estimate carbon emissions, energy usage and the costs of operating many home appliances.

Energy Library: This comprehensive online resource now has an Environmental section that discusses how natural gas is environmentally responsible and information about how conservation helps the Earth’s environment and natural resources.
