GARBAGE INTO SPACE: GOOD IDEA BUT FLAWED

I AM A fourth-grade student at Raleigh Court school. I think that recycling is a good idea. We don't recycle, but my grandmother does. I hope we start to recycle.

I think that taking garbage into outer space is a good idea, but it costs too much money, and if it crashes you just have to pay for it.

There are some ways kids could help stop wasting paper and things. One thing people can do is not use paper towels but plain old towels. They can also not use so many trash bags.
