OMAHA, NEB.—International planning, architecture, engineering, interior design, and program management firm LEO A DALY announced that it celebrated Earth Day 2015 with a worldwide day of volunteerism on April 25. An estimated 625 employees and family members in 31 offices spent the Saturday after Earth Day in a variety of community-focused cleanup activities.

The Earth Day event, which mobilized volunteers in the United States and China, was coordinated by The Futures Council, a group of LEO A DALY company leaders who take on special initiatives to push forward the firm’s vision of “enhancing the quality of the human experience, and the environment.”

“This is LEO A DALY’s 100th year as a company, and the 80th anniversary of our subsidiary LAN,” said LEO A DALY President Dennis Petersen. “What better way to reinforce our commitment to the next 100 years than to go all-out in volunteering to make our communities, and our world, more livable, beautiful, and green?”

T-shirts Designed as Part of Effort

All volunteers wore a T-shirt designed in-house as part of a company-wide design contest. The winning T-shirt, by West Palm Beach employee Tung Chui, depicts several of the firm’s iconic buildings emerging from a green globe.

Some volunteer activities included:

•    Houston office: Cleanup along White Oak Bayou bike and walking trail, Houston;
