ATLANTA, April 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second
year in a row, the first 200 visitors to Georgia Natural Gas'
(GNG's) venue at Atlantic Station's Earth
Day Celebration will receive a free sapling (one per
household) to celebrate the event. GNG acquired the young
trees from the Georgia Forestry Commission. The saplings are native
to Georgia and ideal for planting
and cultivation immediately. The trees will be distributed on a
first-come, first-served basis. Plus, visitors can enjoy a close-up
view of the Honda Civic GX natural gas vehicle, "powered by GNG."
The vehicle will be displayed next to the GNG booth.
GNG representatives will be available on Earth Day to discuss weatherization tips with the
public and to share It's a Natural -- the company's
guide to free or low-cost energy efficiency solutions for the home.
The company's representatives also can discuss GNG's internal and
external sustainability efforts. The company received the Clean Air
Campaign's Pace Award in 2009 and in late March was awarded
the Atlanta Business Chronicle's 2011 Environmental Award in
the "Ennovation" category.
The Ennovation Award recognizes GNG's landfill gas initiative
and its Recycled Natural Gas program now powering the Honda Civic
GX.

commercial and industrial customers. GNG is part of SouthStar
