The WaterShed Partners
Water Quality Action Campaign

Purpose
The purpose of this project is to promote a public understanding that inspires people to act to protect water quality in their watershed. Through a multi-year public campaign and community partnerships, the project intends to change attitudes and behavior of adults in the metro area so they will make better decisions in household, lawn care, and automotive purchases and practices that will benefit and improve water quality.

The campaign was successful in getting their messages to the residents of the Minneapolis/St. Paul. There were radio spots, billboards, newspaper ads, magnets (the flat version can be seen here), and grocery bags. Click here to view the grocery bag. The THINK CLEAN WATER drop and logo at the bottom of this page was also a product of this effort.
