Gonna step up the geek here

1960's Japanime solution: Send Astro-Boy into space with some wild new attachment to suck up the debris & then battle the giant robot that's creating it.  Problem solved everyone gets a moral lecture on being "green".

1970's Saturday morning cartoon solution: Launch a ship into space armed with a gi-normous magnet.  That could collect the debris & then fire off into the sun.  Cool unlikely explosion at the end.

1990's Bruce Willis solution:  Launch a ship into space and put very powerful explosive charges on each piece of debris.  Blow the stuff to a harmless ash that can be disintegrated by the Earth's atmosphere.  Very flashy, crew dies, Earth saved.

2000's Metal eating plague solution:  Secret government agency launches metal eating nano-bots that clear the debris, they evolve and become sentient and then come down to Earth and begin an apocalyptic terror (ala Gort & the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still).

Just brain storming;
