Think Blue Brigade
I Love A Clean San Diego and the City of San Diego's Storm Water Pollution Prevention campaign, Think Blue, have joined together to form the Think Blue Brigade (TBB).

About I Love A Clean San Diego
Founded as the San Diego War Against Litter Committee in 1954, I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD) has worked to improve the health and beauty of San Diego for over 60 years. In the 1970s “I Love A Clean San Diego” was the slogan for the organization’s anti-litter campaign and in 1980 it became the organization’s name. In 1989, ILACSD merged with the San Diego Ecology Center, joining two leading environmental organizations together to better serve the community. ILACSD continues to be San Diego’s leading environmental organization, connecting over 60,000 youth and adults with the local environment each year.

About Think Blue
Think Blue is the education and outreach arm of the City of San Diego Transportation & Storm Water Department. Think Blue is the City of San Diego's storm water pollution prevention campaign. Launched in 2001, Think Blue helps educate residents, businesses and industry leaders about the effects of storm water pollution and about ways to prevent that pollution from harming our environment.
When water flows out of our yards, down driveways and out parking lots into the storm drains, it makes its way through the environment untreated. Water that flows from households, businesses or during rainstorms will flush pesticides, fertilizers, pet waste, litter, automobile fluids, oil and other pollutants into storm drains. Allowing these pollutants into the storm drain system is harmful to our environment and our quality of life. Storm drain pollution hurts our recreational areas, waterways and wildlife. It can also force the closure of popular beaches impacting tourism and our economy.
​
Mission
The Department's mission is to protect and improve water quality and reduce flood risk through efficient storm water management.
