That's shooting an ant with a rocket launcher. You could avoid space junk in much lower orbits than the Lagrange points.

I encourage everyone to get a sense for the sheer scale of this. Do it on your floor or walls. Try a scale of 1cm = 5000km or 1cm = 10,000km. Cut out little Earths and moons and map out geosynch, the lagrange points, etc.
