Space Junk
Our world is becoming increasingly aware and concerned about the state of our environment. Ozone depletion, concern about landfills, and water pollution have led to trends such as recycling, biodegradable products, and organic foods in an attempt to protect the earth.
But what about the pollution taking place outside of our own earth? How often do you see people protesting to save outer space? Our team decided to take an in-depth look at the garbage being sent into outer space by the entire world. This site is intended to help you interactively explore the following questions:
- What is space garbage and how does it get into space?
- Is space garbage enough of a threat to our planet to be concerned about?
- If it is a threat, what can we do to stop it?
- Is sending our garbage into space a possible solution to our pollution problems here on earth?
