The White House lawn must have been impeccable July 26 or someone from North Carolina would have no- ticed. That's when Beach Sweep coordina- tors went to Washington to receive an award for last year's cleanup. In June, the Take Pride in America awards program named North Caro- lina's Beach Sweep '87 a national winner. Coordinators for last year's cleanup were UNC Sea Grant, the Divi- sion of Coastal Management, the Office of Marine Affairs and the Division of Parks and Recreation. Representatives attended the national awards ceremony July 26 on the south lawn of the White House. In January, Beach Sweep '87 placed first in the government agencies cate- gory of North Carolina's Take Pride in America Awards and became eligible for the national competition. Take Pride in America is a national public awareness campaign to pro- mote wise use of public lands and re- sources. Its awards program was established to recognize outstanding resource stewardship projects and programs. This year, 540 award nomi- nations were received from 48 states and the District of Columbia. Beach Sweep '87 brought more than 1,000 people together Sept. 19 for the North Carolina's largest coastal cleanup. Participants collected more than 14 tons of trash during the three-hour event and recorded each piece on data.
