ATLANTA – April 22, 2013 – In honor of Earth Day, more than AGL Resources employee volunteers will roll up their sleeves to complete 22 community service projects that promote awareness and build appreciation for the environment, as well as embody one of the company’s core values: generosity of spirit.

“As one of the nation’s largest natural gas companies, we are steadfast in our commitment to reducing our impact on the environment,” said Melanie Platt, President of AGL Resources Private Foundation. “Our participation in Earth Day initiatives throughout our footprint reflects one of our core values of being responsible stewards in the communities we serve.”

This year, Earth Day is being observed on April 22.

Starting this weekend, AGL Resources employee volunteers, known as V-Force, will take part in the following Earth Day initiatives across five states. Some of the activities include the following:

• Volunteers from AGL Resources and Atlanta Gas Light will be collecting trash and debris from the company’s adopted segment of the Atlanta Beltline, a 22-mile railroad corridor being transformed into green space.
• Nicor Gas volunteers will plant trees and clear buckthorn at Lake Katherine Nature Center in Palos Heights and will participate in the Brookfield Zoo’s Party for the Planet event to promote energy efficiency to home and business owners.
• Chattanooga Gas employees will clean up trash along Olan Mills Drive; select materials will be recycled to benefit the Orange Grove Center in Chattanooga.
• Volunteers from Sequent Energy Management in Houston will visit Boys & Girls Harbor, a home for children who are victims of abuse, neglect or abandonment to teach them about simple ways they can commit “acts of green” in their daily lives.
• Elizabethtown Gas employees will partner with the local mayor’s office to support Groundwork Elizabeth, a nonprofit seeking to improve the Elizabeth community through various clean-up activities.
