McFadden Celebrates Earth Day
For 55 years, Earth Day has played a leading role in raising awareness and inspiring action on critical environmental challenges. It serves as a global advocate for the health of our planet—protecting our air, oceans, soil, ecosystems, wildlife and human wellbeing. At McFadden, we strive to design systems that protect water as a natural resource.
The infrastructure we create must not only meet needs but also respect the balance of the ecosystems around us. At McFadden Engineering, we are dedicated to developing forward-thinking engineering solutions that benefit the specific communities where our team provides services and to the world.
What is Earth Day?
Before Earth Day started in 1970, there were few environmental regulations. Earth Day was established to raise awareness about protecting the environment through safeguards for handling toxic materials and ensuring safe drinking water to protect water resources. On April 22, 2025, an estimated one billion people across 192 countries are expected to participate in Earth Day events. McFadden will celebrate this occasion by highlighting our commitment to designing water systems that prioritize low environmental impact with our services in hydraulic monitoring and site assessment and remediation for our municipal and industrial clients
Since the start of Earth Day, numerous laws and regulations, including the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, have been enacted to safeguard our environment and communities. The theme for Earth Day 2025, “OUR POWER, OUR PLANET,” calls on people worldwide to come together in support of renewable energy and work toward tripling the global production of clean electricity by 2030.
How McFadden is Engineering Sustainable Ecosystems
Civil engineers play a vital role in shaping sustainable solutions that enhance both the environment and community well-being. Our work encompasses optimizing water systems, designing industrial wastewater treatment, water quality and hydraulic monitoring, as well as site assessment and remediation through low-impact designs and the advancement of energy-efficient practices. Across all engineering disciplines, we are committed to finding innovative ways to preserve our environment.
Our mission as engineers is to develop infrastructure that is both sustainable and environmentally conscious. “As engineers, we have a responsibility to assist our clients in being good stewards of the environment and the natural resources that we have been blessed with. At McFadden Engineering, we take this responsibility seriously and strive to ensure that in every project we account for the potential impacts to the environment,” said Brad Newton, Vice President of McFadden Engineering.
We design systems that minimize ecological impacts, implement stormwater management solutions that enhance climate resilience, and address public health challenges such as lead service line replacement. McFadden creates designs that improve the quality of life for today’s communities while considering the needs of future generations.
