Each year, Earth Day reminds us to pause, reflect, and recommit to protecting the planet we all call home. At Suburban Testing Labs, that mission is built into everything we do—from ensuring clean water to supporting regulatory compliance that safeguards communities.
But beyond the work, it’s the people who make the difference. The ones in the field, in the lab, and our clients making tough decisions every day. On this Earth Day, we want to say thank you—to our team and partners—for being everyday environmental heroes.
Rachel Carson
A marine biologist and author of Silent Spring, Carson is credited with launching the modern environmental movement. Her work led to a nationwide ban on DDT and the eventual creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Carson’s birthplace and childhood home is in Springdale, PA, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection State Office Building in Harrisburg is named in her honor.
Robert Bilott
An American environmental attorney who took on DuPont in a decades-long legal battle over PFAS contamination. His groundbreaking work exposed the dangers of “forever chemicals” and sparked national reforms in water safety and chemical regulation. You can watch the documentary, The Devil We Know, which covers his groundbreaking story, and Dark Waters, the drama inspired by his work.
Erin Brockovich
A legal clerk turned activist, Brockovich brought national attention to groundwater contamination in Hinkley, California. Her determination proved that one person can make a powerful impact, even without a scientific degree. Her bravery inspired the hit film titled for her name.
