Think Again

Washing paint brushes in the street or driveway? Not a great idea because the paint residue will go to storm drains. You can wash latex paint in the sink, but for oil based paints never use the sink. Instead, wipe the brush on a newspaper, clean the remaining paint on the brushes in a container of paint thinner, then filter and reuse the thinner.

Want to bring Think Blue Massachusetts to your town? Here are the tools you need to get started!

The Think Blue Toolbox provides free online access to a wealth of campaign materials to help Think Blue Teams create local stormwater outreach projects.

Team Projects might be as simple as poster canvassing, as fun as stormdrain stenciling, or as challenging as coordinating mass media efforts. Whether you want to enhance an existing stormwater outreach project or campaign by using the Think Blue Massachusetts brand, or need inspiration for something new, the Think Blue Toolbox can help!

This Toolbox will provide you with everything you need to create your own project or local campaign that is consistent and compatible with the larger Think Blue effort. Check back often as we will be continually adding to and improving the Toolbox as the campaign grows!
