young.They all lived in the same apartment building,and they went to the same school.At school,the friends had studied conservation and recycling.They found out how much trash people made.The friends started a club to convince people to reduce,or make less,waste.The kids in the club wanted to get the word out about recycling.Onawa said the club should be called the Salvage Crew.Onawa loved the ocean.She explained that the people who save old ships are called salvagers.Onawa said that salvaging also means creating something new from trash.In Other Words tell people.En espaol,get the word out
