Business Wire
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 Junior Aston, vice president of governmental and public
affairs for 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 disributor�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.
