Abby: Look at all this junk! What are we going to do with it? This bike has a flat tire. It's junk. This shirt has a great big hole in it. It's junk. Or is it?
Abby: When you can't use something for its original purpose, you might think it's junk. Some people even throw those things away! But with a little imagination, that junk can turn into hours of fun in a whole new way.
Abby: That old tee shirt. Think again before you get rid of it. Because it could easily become your next epic costume.
Abby: These old cardboard tubes-- just add a little tape or glue and you've got yourself some sweet binoculars.
Abby: If you're ever lucky enough to work with a grown-up on dismantling your junk, you'll learn about how it was built when it was brand new.
Abby: Reusing your junk, even if it's just for fun, is a great way to learn something new... and the perfect opportunity to exercise your creativity.
Abby: When all the fun has been had and there are no more new ways to use your junk, it is time to get rid of it.
Abby: Anything that can be recycled like plastic, paper or cardboard goes in the recycle bin. Everything else goes in the trash can.
