hmmm…..
Space junk is filling outer space. It’s a serious problem. Debris from the tiny size of a paint chip to the enormous size of a parked car is circling the earth at tremendous speeds making it dangerous to collide with satellites and space stations. Orbital fixtures are usually able to dodge the bullets but occasionally there are near and actual collisions. You wouldn’t think that a tiny screw or bolt would make much difference against the metal hull of a satellite or space station, but when you factor in a speed of 17,000 mph it becomes a lethal missile itself.
Junk. How much do you have in your own home? Stuff you don’t need and don’t want is probably cluttering up your personal space. Am I right? I was thinking about clearing out some of the clothes I have in my closet – stuff I haven’t worn in years. Some, I hate to admit, I have never worn at all.
I could donate it to Goodwill or the Salvation Army where it might be distributed to someone in need; giving me a nice tax deduction. Or I could try a resale shop or garage sale which probably wouldn’t net much. Maybe friends or family might want it, but probably not. At any rate, no matter what the manner, recycling is sure to make me feel better.
I might keep them, though and wear them once in a while. But fortunately, when I collide with my clothes, they don’t explode with supersonic speed.
hmmm…..
