Abstract:

Big Sweep in North Carolina is a volunteer effort started in 1987 to clean trash from beaches and waterways. The program now functions in all the state's one hundred counties and receives broad-based backing from citizens and companies like Reynolds American, Duke Power, and First Citizens Banks. This autumn the program marks its twenty-fifth anniversary.
