Not sure if the 1980s as a whole did much to combat climate change and pollution, but I learned a few things from Captain Planet such as pollution, aftermath of water shortage, Venus' temperature, and even my first lesson on the Israel-Palestine clashes (yes, that was an actual episode).
@@ghazghkullthraka9714 So, *"Climate change is a problem but we're just going to kick the can down the road and see what happens. I mean yeah we could do something but it would hurt the economy."*
I have mixed views on the show. In retrospect, it was naive and sometimes kind of wrong, but I do recall that it informed me about a lot of environmental issues that, as a kid, I just wasn't aware of.
My views are not so mixed. Captain Planet was horseshit. Garbage storylines and production values aside, the show and the celebrities producing it weren't so much interested in humanity harmonizing with nature as it was with crippling humanity to the point where it couldn't actually handle oncoming environmental problems. DDT in much smaller doses could have saved millions of human lives. Way to save the planet: kill the humans off, so nobody would have to care. And hey, local conservation, what's that!? You want to focus more on local environmental problems that are solvable than on worldwide political agendas that won't help anything? Why aren't you living in fear like the powerless victims you are?? Think stupidly, act globally. No, seriously, screw that noise.
Just a reminder that the Dinosaurs dying in an ice age implies that, in the greater Muppets canon, that is exactly how they all died out. If you asked Kermit how the dinosaurs went extinct, he would claim it was an ice age, and not a meteor.
The problem is that Captain Planet was too much over the top for even kids to take it seriously. When the villains build factories that produce pollution as their main product just because they are evil you have a problem. Someone like Mr Burns would be a far better villain, he dumps nuclear waste in the park to save money, that is still over the top but his motivation is realistic even if his actions aren't.
I always found it too preachy and I was five when the first season aired. Even as a five year old who didn’t even know what the environment even was, I questioned a lot of what was said in the show as it didn’t seem practical. Also they made action figures of the characters made out of plastic which is made in factories by sweatshop child workers producing even more pollution and most likely discarded and remain in a landfill which in turn adds to the land pollution issue once the toys were broken.
@@kenthuang436 Yeah, it was rather preachy even with 80s standard. I don't think the writers had anything to do with those plastic dolls (sorry, "action figures") though, Ted Turner probably needed an extra Ferrari and the people making the show had probably very little to say in that so I don't think that is a valid argument against the show. But I think they should have done a little better job explaining environmental issues to kids. You get the impression that adults pollute because they think it is fun ignoring all the economical reasons for doing so. When someones kids are starving they can't really say no to being a logger no matter how beautiful the forest is and that doesn't make them evil. And writing tons of letters to politicians isn't very helpful, politicians don't care the least of the opinion of someone too young to vote. Oh, and "Heart" is still a useless power. The fire kid is just too incompetent to use it right.
I'm gonna create a factory that produces smog by creating small chunks of plastic to throw in the ocean... oh wait if I put water the the plastic I'm a real company.
Captain Planet telling kids how to fix pollution is like getting a Lego set, but the Instruction Manual has two pages at the beginning and the finished mock-up.
The Care Bears probably could do a better job at teaching kids about environmentalism than Captain Planet and they would be less preachy too. Plus I thought it was very odd that there was no Ring for plant life which is far more important to the planet than Heart (which is basically mind control) and Fire (which it can help get rid of dead trees and other things but is still pretty destructive and dangerous and creates pollution itself).
Doc Brown: “The future is doomed! Look!” Everyone: “Then give us your Mr. Fusion home energy reactor so we can have clean, sustainable garbage consuming energy for everyone!” Doc Brown: “Phff. No.”

I just kind of love the fact that Captain Fucking Planet, yknow the dude with super powers a manifestation of the earth and willpower, just walks up to HITLER and is instantly defeated, it's the funniest shit ever.
hitler didn't even do anything, he just stood there menacingly and that was enough to make captain planet get destroyed. Imagine your kryptonite being hitler.
I'm glad you made this very digestable synopsis on the history and current situations regarding climate change. It is super important for people to be learning about this, with you being a father, I'm sure this meant alot to you.
I remember that Earth Day special being super-hyped appointment viewing when I was a kid, and dutifully siting down to watch it with the whole family. It was so stiff and unwatchable I totally forgot about it until now, and it still feels like something from a half-remembered fever dream
The scene from the Captain Planet episode "Mind Pollution" where Boris, Linka's cousin, literally died from a drug called _bliss_ is a depressing depiction of drug overdose. As what Lou Albano once said, _"If you do drugs, you go to hel before you die."_
I'm still longing for a kids show that has the balls to blame pollution and climate change on ultra-rich individuals, megacorps and corrupt governments instead of regular people.
It's not about the show makers it's about the studios. Ya know the one run by megacorps headed by ultra rich individuals who want to play into the corrupt governments
It's not a TV show, but the Blue Sky animated movie Robots literally ends with the regular people teaming up and outright killing their oppressors. Granted it was more economic commentary than environmental, but those problems are caused by the exact same people.
DDT "Fun" fact: They were continued to use in developing nations, because of how it was sold to them, way after it was known to cause cancer. Also, I grew up in a small rural town of north India, and they used DDT so much on the mosquitos that they mutated/evolved to not be affected by DDT and became a much worse problem.
I just love to picture Captain Planet with a gun saying "Destroy Capitalism" and just firing it at someone who didn't put their can in the recycling in front of him.
I genuinely do like that they told kids to write to a politician. Imagine if that movement actually got going, a million children's letters is hard to work around if you're a politician.
Wow thanks for replying! But I was really thinking more small, like a govenor or someone in parliament. Not that it would still be pushed to the side, but I can see them actually acting on what was asked more than any President.
Only problem with writing to your local politician when you’re literally five years old and watching this show is that you can’t write legibly or even at all and you’ll end up with a scribbled mess that will be thrown away and you also have no idea what a politician even is and probably will think a politician is a type of cat or dog.
I think thats kind of the point they're trying to make with Wheeler and fire though: Its not just useless but counterproductive, where without Mati and heart in a lot of situations they would have been screwed. That said, Ted Turner is a cretin that should have had all his money taken and put into regulating big business instead of putting all the blame on the individual.
Heart is essentially mind control and invasion of a person’s mind and body. I mean would *you* want a teenager entering your head uninvited to guilt trip you about not recycling and driving a car instead of walking? And the technophobia the Planeteers had is also disturbing as not all technology or technological advancements are bad! Cell phones help save lives in emergencies when landlines are down or not possible to have in an area, computers help people stay connected with others and give them important information about current events and warnings about natural disasters, and vaccines have helped save lives.
@@kenthuang436 Yikes. I guess Captain Planet and the Planeteers has not aged well as much as I remember. I do not disagree with what Robert Martin said about Ted Turner, and...I will also save the planet by putting most of my money into regulating big businesses, since Ted Turner did not have the guts to do that. July 5, 2022, 12:48am
Except Ted Turner is a environmental activist and a philanthropist... I'm not saying that makes him necessary the good guy, I'm just saying is way more complicated that "ahhh, that evil man"
@@adampkalb Well, the guy used part of his money to do environmental activisim, but he also did some questionable stuff (not necessarily related to the environment)... Is more like a grey character, it all depends on how you look at it
Great vid. I actually had to talk about Captain Planet in relation to a presentation I made about Hanna-Barbera. They actually made their own version of Captain Planet: Yogi’s Gang. Basically Yogi, Snagglepuss and a bunch of Hanna-Barbera characters live together on a flying arc and fight villains like Mr. Smog or Doctor Bigot. (Yes that’s his real name. He makes Yogi racist. It’s as funny as it sounds.) Maybe you could make a vid about Hanna-Barbera someday. They have such a unique history.
Environmental engineer (who was inspired by Captain Planet & Thornberrys, by the way) here: One of the "good" things about climate change, it's that is such a complex phenomenon that whatever you do, it helps. Yes. Turn off the lights. Recycle. Use less plastic. Reduce your meat intake. Walk more. Print less stuff. And so on. But also you were very right about many people doing the same. 2000 people cycling? Cute. 200,000 people cycling? Now there's suddenly a critical mass to push for more bike lanes and pedestrian areas in your local town or city. Enough people brought awareness of single use plastics and now many countries are working towards banning them. Energy saving processes didn't appear because some smart ass scientist invented a better bulb, but because enough people pushed that in everyday discussions. So yeah. We all have a tiny part to play. Unless you're the CEO of Exxon, Shell, Petrobras, a president of a country or a billionaire. Then you have a huge part to play.
Walk more is literally not an option. I can't drive. I tried to learn many times and failed so I take Uber or Lyft because there are no walking paths and public transport almost doesn't exist outside cities like NYC, Boston, Philly or Seattle.
@@jhonshephard921 The USA is not the only country in the world. And although that "write a letter to..." is stupid, it does bring awareness to the fact that we laymen can't do a lot. But we have to push politicians to do more. In your local case, making a more walkable or bikeable city.
Yup, and the thing with public transport in rural area is that someone has to pay for it. In a bigger city there are enough passengers to pay the cost, but in a string of villages there is simply not enough demand to have more than maybe two or three buses a day. Which means if you need to travel at different times than to school or work in the morning, there is simply no way besides a car.
I remember Captain Planet...from this one bumper Cartoon Network aired making fun of him with Eddy. Cartoon Network seemed to whale on him a lot because they realized he was just kinda lame. I also think the "blaming others" thing is why the show gets relentlessly mocked - like, had it said that the general public's input helps but pointed its derision at rich idiots wasting money and murdering the planet via self-awareness (Ted Turner, the billionaire, telling people to clean up the air) then people would have cared more. Hell, it's classist and overtly patronizing shit is probably *ALSO* the reason why it gets mocked.
Except Ted Turner was a activist himself, the guy legitimately inverted money on environmentalist causes and ironically has been mocked for doing a bit extremist claims on that topic (the guy isn't a saint neither)...
I'm not exactly an environmentalist but I am gonna say this. We kind of do need to look after our own little patches as good ol' Edd here said. And we do need to make sure that, in the end, we're gonna be able to keep our world healthy and alive for future generations. Because in all honesty, I'd really rather not have whatever great grandkids I have having to fight pollution because I wasn't able to punch some politician in the face. Point is; we do need to work together. Teamwork makes the dream work... cheesy but true.
That sounds nice, but we actually need governments to take action and create policies that make sure your kids don't grow up in an even more fucked up world than the one we already have.
The main issue about being more mindful about the environment is that it is going to take a long time for any real significant change to happen. Recycling may be good to do now but it still will take time for landfills to not be filled with trash, the hole in the ozone layer is still repairing itself, and global warming is still happening even with people switching to alternative sources of electricity and even downgrading their homes to not use electricity or have running water.
3:28 "Blaming absolutely everyone." Everyone except the massive corporations and capitalist economic system that were and still are actually at fault, of course. Naturally. Because heaven forbid we should ever acknowledge the systems that govern our lives and world instead of taking on absurd "personal responsibility".
Captain Planet is like a cheesy bland tool, albeit one which has been stuck onto the minds of kids for a longer time than shows that contain much better (or far more accurate) research (but tend to flop much harder and become obscure more easily). That said, there are films and shows which are even worse in terms of research than something plain preachy like Captain Planet.
I like the calls for letters. Yes you're using paper, but it's a direct, honest to god way to inform your local government of what you want. One letter they can ignore, but if every kid in the province sends a letter to them... Well suddenly their party has a lot of future voters to grab if they listen
Unfortunately, the call for letters is also incredibly flawed when you factor in that five year olds were also watching the show when it was airing and they don't exactly know how to write or read and probably think that a politician is some type of animal and a government is a flower. Little kids definitely would not even know what the show was talking about.
He touched on it briefly, but the fact that the climate issue is mostly presented as a fault on the average populace and not corporate greed is my biggest issue with this topic, bc there's no amount of going green that any of us can do as long as companies like Nestle(the whole "Water is not a basic human right" thing), Monsanto(Plant and Food GMOs) and BP(the 2010 gulf oil spill incident) can continue doing business without repercussions, not even mentioning the problems with Lithium Batteries for electric cars and the immediate damage caused from lithium mining, it's almost like we haven't found a better, cleaner response to fossil fuels yet
“Why fight when you can be friends?” Don’t you know, Putin is just trying to make friends with Ukraine…forcefully…with military weaponry. Distasteful joke, I know.
Yeah. I thought that it was also pretty stupid when Captain Planet said that especially when you factor in people being killed by racists and homophobic attacks.
Thanks for the video, Eddie. I'm a graduate from Environmental Science course, and let me tell ya, all my hopes and dreams to "protect the planets, save the environment" things died out a long time ago. Cause in the end, it all comes down to the goverment system, to do actual changes. But hey, your video sparks that little flame i had when I was younger, inspire me a bit. Maybe just do what we can do, vote for the right people that can do something realistic thann saying, and educate my students and children. Thanks Eddie.
I always found it to be too preachy even when I was five. I had no idea what a senator or even local politician was and I couldn’t even write or read so how am I supposed to write a letter to “stop pollution?”
Chill out, people unironically started doing these claims and now are waves of people wanting to cancel Mr. Beast. Isn't about the individual, it's about the system.
I get the intent behind having Captain Planet tackle issues like gang violence or drug use or Northern Ireland. But the execution was horribly bad. Intent ends were execution begins. And the approach they chose was bad.
Im south African and I used to love this show as a kid the thing about this show is like the lessons are very vague and the truth is its not supposed to be taken seriously the lessons I learned from captain planet is it's up to us to whether or not to care about the environment we should all try our best we could be extreme and do something radical to change the world or change the world through many small changes the point is the power is yours watching captain planet has inspired me to be a force of change in the world cause to me innovation is needed to change the world instead of gas and coal why not solar wind hydro even nuclear be alternative source of power and keep on innovating to make it even more efficient to the point were we wouldn't harmful fossil fuels to power our world. That's it whoever is reading the power is yours
I find it weird how it tells kids “if you’re going a short distance walk or ride a bike” well what the fuck else are they supposed to do they legally cants drive
"Plastic straws are being phased out, plastic bags are charged extra to discourage their use, and there are recycling bins in more convenient locations." So, in the US, I'm probably ignorant, but it feels like these issues aren't actually doing anything to save the environment. The plastic straws being phased out are replaced with arguably more harmful paper straws with a bad taste, plastic bags are arguably the best option compared to paper and toat with the former using tree parts while being more fragile and the latter being environmentally worse and is produced with the most environmentally harmful products. And as for recycling bins, while they are more common, they are also the most contested measure because nobody agrees how to recycle certain objects, such as whether cans should be recycled per can and being charged more or by weight and requires the cans to be destroyed to accomplish.

Every time I see Captain Planet 2 things come to mind for me, The OK K.O Let's be Heroes crossover and that video Black Nerd Comedy made about a potential live action Captain Planet movie that never surfaced.
Also that funny or die sketch with Don Chedle as Captain Planet just going crazy. Also that Rick and Morty episode where a girl version of Captain Planet snaps and goes crazy…….I’m noticing a pattern…..
Fun fact: the US paper industry plants so many trees it makes Mr Beast look like a trash goblin. But it makes sense when you stop to think about it; more trees means more business for them.
One problem though is these saplings need tons to grow so no matter how many you plant you’re decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide conversion Besides algae is the biggest converter not trees
Also, to add in his OK K.O appearance, he indeed does do a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure-esque pose there and that show also made Dr. Blight hotter in it. XD
Sorry to be overly cynical, but with all messages like this, it won't work. No individual effort by a person will stop climate change. Even banded together, if everyone was recycling, alot of pollution is caused by systematic failures. Concrete manufacturing is an example. That creates alot of waste. But the big problem is, its not as simple as get rid of concrete. Concrete is a useful material for building, and is used extensively for cheap houses. So, invent a revolutionary new material or cheaper and less pollutive way of making concrete, cause a major spike in homelessness that won't go back down or continue polluting. Your choice. That is one of many examples. Many, many examples. Sorry for being so cynical again, thx for reading.
its kinda the issue with the whole "go green" movement. you cant save, help the most people wile cutting back an affordable resources. like you said concrete is very cheap and is used in affordable housing. the medical field HAS to use disposable plastics and paper for sterility to keep people safe. human sanitary need can only be achieved through use of single use items like soaps and well paper and other products for women. in the end wile the eco warriors have a point, they offer no solution to the issue that doesn't cause potential ethics issues.
@@Drbeattles Yeah man, exactly what I’m saying, you’re putting it better than I ever could. The human races existence in its current form necessitates usage of pollutants. Use them, use the slightly less pollutive brother or go back to living in a cave and hunting “insert local animal here”. If everyone chooses choice C (which no one will or wants to(including me(this is turning into lisp code with the brackets))) we might keep our planet in a state we can live on. Choice B just slows the issue for the kids to deal with, as he was saying in the vid.
@@RedLustre there is a solid theory tho that the earth goes through climate change naturally every now and then. I agree that there’s ways we can be less damaging with packing among other things. We won’t delete the issue of human pollutant. It just happens by existing.
@@Drbeattles yeah, we are the problem, we just can’t fix it easily, that’s all. It’s not natural man, old data proves it. We dug this grave, can’t pretend it was always there.
I'd honestly be down if we got a modern reboot of the show, but with the knowledge and nuance we know now of the situation integrated into its stories.
I think the biggest takeaway here as it comes to Captain Planet isn't really about how correct the show was in its individual ideas but more the changes that it inspired. Science changes CONSTANTLY and so do politics, so any solutions that it proposed that were based in either of those two areas...which was basically EVERY solution that it proposed... were doomed to become very quickly outdated the more that we learned going forward. Those in charge of Captain Planet were working with what they knew. We know a LOT more now and, well...turns out a lot of those old assertions didn't hold up well. However, the intent of Captain Planet was more to raise awareness of these problems and, to that end, I would say it was HIGHLY successful. It opened up eyes that were before blind to the effects of climate change and provided motivation for people to make changes, even if small ones, for a better tomorrow. We're STILL a long way from where we need to be...and it's certainly arguable that we're not making these changes anywhere NEAR fast enough...but if people are taking it upon themselves to clean up our planet and reverse climate change and their inspiration is Captain Planet, then Captain Planet did its job. It's not enough for just us, as people, to reduce, reuse and recycle... however, if we do NOTHING, then we risk bringing about our own destruction and will only have ourselves to blame. We can't just ignore climate change and hope it'll go away because it won't. The system needs to change and it will take people to change it, just as it took people to destroy it in the first place. If not our politicians, if not our corporations, if not our governments... Then, it IS up to us. That's the message that Captain Planet was giving us and that's the legacy that the show ultimately left us with. The power is OURS...
I always felt fire was done dirty. Its not a purely distructive power. What it does above all others is provide energy. None of the other powers can function without that.
Someone near Atlanta here; I find it kinda funny(though admittedly fitting) how the Captain Planet Organization is there because Georgia is full of trees and is mostly a safe place environmentally Hell, Atlanta itself is 48% forest
22:20 To be fair, I don't think it would be easy to translate "Captain Planet Tears Down a Bunch of Monopolistic Exploitative Multi-National Corporations and Removes/Reforms Corrupt Rich Politicians Who Also Most Likely Own Said Monopolistic Exploitative Multi-National Corporations" into a kid-friendly limited-time episode, especially when the people writing it seems to have absolutely no idea what actually causes pollution.
That message of the 3 Rs was pushed so much when I was growing up. Amazed to learn my younger brother had never heard of it and him acting like it's a new thing I'd just made up.
And yet nobody seems to realize they are an ordered list. Recycling is the last choice. Reducing is step one and that is done in conjunction by reusing.
while the messages may save been grim, heavy handed and some times inaccurate I feel we today need positive messages. with out them we have in some places back slid or begun doing things my generation grew up knowing NOPT to do. I feel kids need to hear messages in cartoons like "We are all different and we all believe in different things so lets respect that" or "Other people have feelings too its not nice to hurt them or destroy the things they care about" we need to learn the things Captain Planet never focused on like anger management, setting aside hate, being in a healthy relationship, understanding LGBT issues etc It doesn't have to be Captain Planet just a show that targets kids that's not afraid to talk about gays or divorce or religion or race . and if a show is going to talk about "Solutions" it needs to step back and admit that problems don't have "One always correct in every situation solution" rather then arguing over if its better to have solar or wind power we should admit that both have advantages and both have disadvantages and work towards a 3rd option rather then fighting over banning guns vs gun rights we should admit that both have advantages and both have disadvantages and work towards a 3rd option in any problem we have there are always options that we refuse to consider because the liberals want the opposite of the conservatives and the conservatives want the opposite of the liberals and neither side wants to work together , to look at all the data and see a new possibility that works. They both want one idea that is "Right" and all other ideas are "Wrong" so they don't even hear out other options. there is much wisdom to be gained from the child who says "Why not both?" or in some cases maybe neither. you just can not solve every thing with one solution that applies in all situations. You need to hear every side because both sides state facts. you say "Follow the science" but both sides have since facts on there side. as long as you refuse to combine the two sides in to one you'll never get any thing done. and you shouldn't pressure people to agreeing to a solution that still has flaws Also don't take out your anger on "The system" the police have feelings and families too. they are doing there job and that job protects YOU the police use force when they have no other choice. when suspects threaten them and give them a hard time they have to use force to get the situation under Controle. If you are a suspect you are not being "Called a criminal" they just want to ask you questions. if you have done nothing wrong then let them search you and when they find you did nothing wrong they will let you go. More black people are arrested for crimes because black leaders tell there people to resist arrest and to stay angary and that crime is in there culture and they have a right to do it. and to accuse white people of being the problem is its self a racist attack White is a race and male is a sex if you hate white males you are racist and sexist White men did not cause YOUR problems .
You have no idea how satisfied I am to finally see someone call out the misconception of people calling the power of heart "useless." Seriously, if you're a part of a group that fights to protect the environment around the world, would you rather: Have what are essentially various psychic powers that are useful in any situation. Or fire powers that are essentially useless, since all you can do is create more fire, in a situation where many environments can get destroyed by said fire.
I wouldn't say Heart is useless but I do think it didn't deserve a ring because it is essentially mind control and an invasion of a person's head which isn't a good thing to do. Plus plant life really got screwed by not having a Ring considering all life on the planet literally depends on plants in whether it's from being a food source or providing oxygen.
@@kenthuang436 while I agree on some levels, the person who is given the heart ring is implied to be a morally good person not to use it for fucked up reasons.
25:15 I cracked up over this. They seriously couldn't, like.. not do that for one episode? Or at least not over the poor guy's corpse??? That's darkly hilarious
@@hazzainthehat4678 they aren't that young and you could just get a bunch of them and have them take turns. Or find a way to make a device that could use it. Maybe graft living tissue to a robotic finger or something.
Or, hell, apply the initial heat, then have it set up so the water condenses and falls back down into the reservoir. Have excess power routed to a series of heaters in the water basin to keep it going. If heat goes low you just go and top it up
"Famine is caused by failed institutions and capitalism" While yes, I agree that the institutions are the cause of famines, the 3 worst famines in history had absolutely nothing to do with capitalism, in fact the absolute worst famine, being the great leap forward in 1950s China, was because of the rejection of capitalism through the communist party of China. you also want the governments to solve the problem...even though most of what you said was that the governments don't care about the problem, and therefore we'll just be giving politicians more power than they really needed. So instead of throwing power and more tax money at the situation, why not offer incentives for practical environmental awareness like giving tax cuts to private companies for new developments in electric cars, cutting the red tape and offering financial assistance to encourage entrepreneurs into creating nuclear plants to slowly phase out the use of fossil fuels, and giving people the real facts about climate change instead of crying apocalypse and actually putting accountability on the major producers of the world's pollution (which are in fact India and China). Lastly, overpopulation isn't white supremacy nor is it a real problem anymore, the feat that the population would exceed crop growth was solved by Fritz Haber. Look at populations in Africa, they can barely eat, but it's not because the *evil* white man is flying over, picking their crops, and killing their livestock. It's because they live in a geographical wasteland. Sam Kinison said it perfectly. "If you want to end world hunger, don't send them packages of food, send them to WHERE THE FOOD ALREADY IS!" If you want to stop overpopulation in India, then go over there and fix it. India knows that they're too crowded, but they don't give enough of a damn to fix it themselves, so if they won't, then someone needs to. I know a lot of these solutions are suited for a constitutional republic like the United States, so hopefully within the sea of pro communist replies I get, someone is able to post some ideas on how other systems of government may fix their own environmental issues.
Eddache is so underrated. The amount of effort put into every single video warrants at least 500k subs. Edit: I just saw who eddache subs to and his taste is amazing.
12:37 that's quite funny considering I know a lot of children I know understood "the problem is yours" instead of "the power is yours", that's amazing.
Every time I do the three R’s, a huge pile of stuff that need to be discarded but I don’t want to throw away because it will just add to landfill pollution grows and people think I’m a hoarder and that I need an intervention and help. Thanks Captain Planet for making people think I am a hoarder....
I disliked Captain Planet because of how preachy it got and tried guilt tripping viewers over things that they couldn't control. The show tried to tell me that I was a bad person who didn't care about the environment and the only way to show that I cared was to write to politicians but the problem is I was in five and couldn't read or write legibly and I thought women had babies by becoming fat randomly.
Conservatives hate it because they often don't think climate change is real and hate the idea of environmental regulation. Other people just found it cheesy and yeah, it was rather preachy, most of the stuff going on in it couldn't be changed by a normal citizen especially a child. Granted I guess the real idea was to try to make them environmentalists that would be voting in 10ish years and maybe make them try to make their parents activists.
Someone today said the phrase "Cyber Razor Cut" It awoke something in me like a sleeper agent. Im not sure why, but here I am. I need to figure out the next step.
“Ending fossil capitalism doesn't mean we have to implement socialism. We're stuck in an unimaginative 20th century debate. Regardless of what we'll call the economic system, it is essential that it functions within the planetary boundaries." - Greta Thunberg
I do find it weird that "non violent" kids media can mean "the protagonists don't do violence but it can still happen on screen, as long as the protagonists aren't doing it."
Fun fact, Duke Nukem used to be called Duke Nukum with a "u" because of Duke Nukem in Captain planet, until Duke's second game (another Apogee platformer) he was known as Duke Nukum. Most of the world remembers him from Duke Nukem 3D and Duke Nukem Forever but he started out as a platformer on the early PC market in the 90s
Goddamn I knew the show covered more than just basic environmental disasters and its super villains. I'd heard of the aids episode before, but they really had no place covering other things. i get why they wanted to and Im sure it was done with good intent, but holy shit its just ridiculous hearing about it. I mean the overpopulation one is even messier than its origins. We just had a pandemic, and it showed how woefully unprepared we were for dealing with it in dense populations. I'm less concerned about impact and more about quality of life. The more people there are the harder it is to assure standards of living. Sure some of it can be chocked up to shitty systems, but some of it has to fall on carrying capacity (the amount of resources in an environment and how much life it can support).

recycling would be nice, if it actually did anything, but processing recycled garbage is too labour intensive, which makes the products of recycling too expensive to be worth while, and so recycled stuff generally just goes into a landfill like all the other trash. now maybe robots can fix that, by taking the labour cost to zero so long as the machine's energy and upkeep costs are low enough it could work...so long as the things being recycled CAN be recycled. glass and metal are generally really easy to recycle, but they often have the issue of being mixed with other things, so coloured glass generally has to be that same colour or something which is a mix of two colours, you won't get clear glass from coloured glass, and the same is true for plastic. plastic has the added issue that it degrades when recycled. similarly metal has alloy problems. carbon steel can be easily made into any other kind of carbon steel, we know pretty well how to pull carbon out of steel and put it back, but pulling out molybdenum or tungsten or chromium...bit harder, not impossible just more expensive than going the other way. as for timber and paper, these are made from forests that are grown specifically to be cut down, they are a crop, like wheat or corn, and like a crop they are replaced when they are cut down. this is actually a good thing, because a growing tree pulls more CO2 than a mature tree. now that CO2 WILL be released back into the atmosphere at some point, either when it is burnt or when it decays...but it means you would be better BURYING carboard or paper than recycling it, same for lumber. if you bury it, that carbon goes back into the ground and becomes coal some day. the caveat is you gotta bury it really deep or it will just decompose and release that carbon back into the air. you can do the same thing with cotton clothes, or even wool, anything with carbon got its carbon from the atmosphere, so you can bury animals, we already bury humans but not nearly deep enough (except those ones that are like hermetically sealed) you could raise literal scapegoats, goats that are raised, sacrificed, and buried to offset carbon emissions. but that would be a pretty big waste of money. you would also need to bury A LOT to offset emissions.
14:05 I legitimately expected him to say plant a tree and conserve paper products by reusing them I laughed out loud when Captain Planet set the bullshit answer
The funny thing is, in a capitalist society, the free market allows you to choose to not support business that pollutes, so you can actually make a difference, along with others, to stop supporting businesses and in turn, affect what choices they make. The super rich get rich off of people buying their product. If you dont want to support a polluting company, a capitalist society allows you to not support them. Its interesting for someone who has seen how government works, like in your TMNT being censored in England, and for someone trying to get people to join together, you actively choose to go about it differently than I would think. Ultimately, my main point is, conservatives and liberals both want the best for everyone (minus politicians who only benefit themselves), but we think of different ways to achieve those goals. Im tired of the hate towards the average human who is conservative for being conservative, or towards liberals for being liberal. I dont think anyone is inherently bad for their political views. I like your videos cause they show a different perspective than I would have thought sometimes
Radiation must be a weird enemy to fight since is everywhere doing absolutly nothing and if not used for Nukes is the safest and useful energy source and medical diagnosis and treatment
Nuclear isn't the safest energy source, given the several catastrophic failures at nuclear plants in the last half-century or so (three mile island, Chernobyl, that one in Japan, not to mention the dangers of mining uranium) but it's safer than coal, so at least it has that going for it.

Not sure if the 1980s as a whole did much to combat climate change and pollution, but I learned a few things from Captain Planet such as pollution, aftermath of water shortage, Venus' temperature, and even my first lesson on the Israel-Palestine clashes (yes, that was an actual episode).
The 1980s climate discussion is like Australia’s discussion today
TBH. I have a bum liver so I have maybe ten years. I drink I smoke cookies so I reeking.
It was during the 1970s-80s that climate change was discovered by the scientific community.

Sometimes the best you can do is plant that seed.
I have mixed views on the show. In retrospect, it was naive and sometimes kind of wrong, but I do recall that it informed me about a lot of environmental issues that, as a kid, I just wasn't aware of.
My views are not so mixed. Captain Planet was horseshit. Garbage storylines and production values aside, the show and the celebrities producing it weren't so much interested in humanity harmonizing with nature as it was with crippling humanity to the point where it couldn't actually handle oncoming environmental problems. DDT in much smaller doses could have saved millions of human lives. Way to save the planet: kill the humans off, so nobody would have to care. And hey, local conservation, what's that!? You want to focus more on local environmental problems that are solvable than on worldwide political agendas that won't help anything? Why aren't you living in fear like the powerless victims you are?? Think stupidly, act globally. No, seriously, screw that noise.
I was born in Earth Day and I thought that the show was too preachy and I hated how it tried to guilt trip me for things out of my control.

Just a reminder that the Dinosaurs dying in an ice age implies that, in the greater Muppets canon, that is exactly how they all died out. If you asked Kermit how the dinosaurs went extinct, he would claim it was an ice age, and not a meteor.

@@Proygon In case of COVID-19, it's not always effective as earlier claimed. Maybe for other infections.
The problem is that Captain Planet was too much over the top for even kids to take it seriously.
When the villains build factories that produce pollution as their main product just because they are evil you have a problem.
Someone like Mr Burns would be a far better villain, he dumps nuclear waste in the park to save money, that is still over the top but his motivation is realistic even if his actions aren't.
I always found it too preachy and I was five when the first season aired. Even as a five year old who didn’t even know what the environment even was, I questioned a lot of what was said in the show as it didn’t seem practical. Also they made action figures of the characters made out of plastic which is made in factories by sweatshop child workers producing even more pollution and most likely discarded and remain in a landfill which in turn adds to the land pollution issue once the toys were broken.
@@kenthuang436 Yeah, it was rather preachy even with 80s standard.
I don't think the writers had anything to do with those plastic dolls (sorry, "action figures") though, Ted Turner probably needed an extra Ferrari and the people making the show had probably very little to say in that so I don't think that is a valid argument against the show.
But I think they should have done a little better job explaining environmental issues to kids. You get the impression that adults pollute because they think it is fun ignoring all the economical reasons for doing so.
When someones kids are starving they can't really say no to being a logger no matter how beautiful the forest is and that doesn't make them evil.
And writing tons of letters to politicians isn't very helpful, politicians don't care the least of the opinion of someone too young to vote.
Oh, and "Heart" is still a useless power. The fire kid is just too incompetent to use it right.
@@kenthuang436 well that is ironic
I'm gonna create a factory that produces smog by creating small chunks of plastic to throw in the ocean... oh wait if I put water the the plastic I'm a real company.
Exactly, cheaping out on waste disposal and air filters is how factories hurt the environment, not because the owner likes stuff being dirty.
Captain Planet telling kids how to fix pollution is like getting a Lego set, but the Instruction Manual has two pages at the beginning and the finished mock-up.
Captain Planet: Okay kids save the world.
Kids: how?
Captain Planet: If I knew I'd already be doing it.
Instruction Manuel? Reminds me of that scene from WALL-E.
The Care Bears probably could do a better job at teaching kids about environmentalism than Captain Planet and they would be less preachy too. Plus I thought it was very odd that there was no Ring for plant life which is far more important to the planet than Heart (which is basically mind control) and Fire (which it can help get rid of dead trees and other things but is still pretty destructive and dangerous and creates pollution itself).

It's not about the show makers it's about the studios. Ya know the one run by megacorps headed by ultra rich individuals who want to play into the corrupt governments
It's not a TV show, but the Blue Sky animated movie Robots literally ends with the regular people teaming up and outright killing their oppressors. Granted it was more economic commentary than environmental, but those problems are caused by the exact same people.
It's regular people who fund the rich.
No network would greenlight that, of course, because the advertisers are the megacorps in question.

I just love to picture Captain Planet with a gun saying "Destroy Capitalism" and just firing it at someone who didn't put their can in the recycling in front of him.
I genuinely do like that they told kids to write to a politician. Imagine if that movement actually got going, a million children's letters is hard to work around if you're a politician.
In theory, had President Bush not sadly ignored the 1 million letters on the Tree Of Life... sigh...
Wow thanks for replying! But I was really thinking more small, like a govenor or someone in parliament. Not that it would still be pushed to the side, but I can see them actually acting on what was asked more than any President.
Only problem with writing to your local politician when you’re literally five years old and watching this show is that you can’t write legibly or even at all and you’ll end up with a scribbled mess that will be thrown away and you also have no idea what a politician even is and probably will think a politician is a type of cat or dog.

Environmental engineer (who was inspired by Captain Planet & Thornberrys, by the way) here:
One of the "good" things about climate change, it's that is such a complex phenomenon that whatever you do, it helps. Yes. Turn off the lights. Recycle. Use less plastic. Reduce your meat intake. Walk more. Print less stuff. And so on.
But also you were very right about many people doing the same. 2000 people cycling? Cute. 200,000 people cycling? Now there's suddenly a critical mass to push for more bike lanes and pedestrian areas in your local town or city. Enough people brought awareness of single use plastics and now many countries are working towards banning them. Energy saving processes didn't appear because some smart ass scientist invented a better bulb, but because enough people pushed that in everyday discussions.
So yeah. We all have a tiny part to play. Unless you're the CEO of Exxon, Shell, Petrobras, a president of a country or a billionaire. Then you have a huge part to play.
Walk more is literally not an option. I can't drive. I tried to learn many times and failed so I take Uber or Lyft because there are no walking paths and public transport almost doesn't exist outside cities like NYC, Boston, Philly or Seattle.
@@jhonshephard921 The USA is not the only country in the world.
And although that "write a letter to..." is stupid, it does bring awareness to the fact that we laymen can't do a lot. But we have to push politicians to do more. In your local case, making a more walkable or bikeable city.
Yup, and the thing with public transport in rural area is that someone has to pay for it. In a bigger city there are enough passengers to pay the cost, but in a string of villages there is simply not enough demand to have more than maybe two or three buses a day. Which means if you need to travel at different times than to school or work in the morning, there is simply no way besides a car.
Petrobras?

I remember Captain Planet...from this one bumper Cartoon Network aired making fun of him with Eddy.
Cartoon Network seemed to whale on him a lot because they realized he was just kinda lame.
I also think the "blaming others" thing is why the show gets relentlessly mocked - like, had it said that the general public's input helps but pointed its derision at rich idiots wasting money and murdering the planet via self-awareness (Ted Turner, the billionaire, telling people to clean up the air) then people would have cared more.
Hell, it's classist and overtly patronizing shit is probably *ALSO* the reason why it gets mocked.
Except Ted Turner was a activist himself, the guy legitimately inverted money on environmentalist causes and ironically has been mocked for doing a bit extremist claims on that topic (the guy isn't a saint neither)...
I'm not exactly an environmentalist but I am gonna say this.
We kind of do need to look after our own little patches as good ol' Edd here said.
And we do need to make sure that, in the end, we're gonna be able to keep our world healthy and alive for future generations. Because in all honesty, I'd really rather not have whatever great grandkids I have having to fight pollution because I wasn't able to punch some politician in the face.
Point is; we do need to work together. Teamwork makes the dream work... cheesy but true.
@RUclips_Bard Unless someone like you cares a whole, awful lot. Nothing is going to get better. It's just not~ Dr.Suess.
That sounds nice, but we actually need governments to take action and create policies that make sure your kids don't grow up in an even more fucked up world than the one we already have.
The main issue about being more mindful about the environment is that it is going to take a long time for any real significant change to happen. Recycling may be good to do now but it still will take time for landfills to not be filled with trash, the hole in the ozone layer is still repairing itself, and global warming is still happening even with people switching to alternative sources of electricity and even downgrading their homes to not use electricity or have running water.
3:28 "Blaming absolutely everyone." Everyone except the massive corporations and capitalist economic system that were and still are actually at fault, of course. Naturally. Because heaven forbid we should ever acknowledge the systems that govern our lives and world instead of taking on absurd "personal responsibility".

I like the calls for letters. Yes you're using paper, but it's a direct, honest to god way to inform your local government of what you want. One letter they can ignore, but if every kid in the province sends a letter to them... Well suddenly their party has a lot of future voters to grab if they listen
Unfortunately, the call for letters is also incredibly flawed when you factor in that five year olds were also watching the show when it was airing and they don't exactly know how to write or read and probably think that a politician is some type of animal and a government is a flower. Little kids definitely would not even know what the show was talking about.
@@kenthuang436 sure but what about the 10yos? The 11s? The 12s?

He touched on it briefly, but the fact that the climate issue is mostly presented as a fault on the average populace and not corporate greed is my biggest issue with this topic, bc there's no amount of going green that any of us can do as long as companies like Nestle(the whole "Water is not a basic human right" thing), Monsanto(Plant and Food GMOs) and BP(the 2010 gulf oil spill incident) can continue doing business without repercussions, not even mentioning the problems with Lithium Batteries for electric cars and the immediate damage caused from lithium mining, it's almost like we haven't found a better, cleaner response to fossil fuels yet

"Plastic straws are being phased out, plastic bags are charged extra to discourage their use, and there are recycling bins in more convenient locations."
So, in the US, I'm probably ignorant, but it feels like these issues aren't actually doing anything to save the environment. The plastic straws being phased out are replaced with arguably more harmful paper straws with a bad taste, plastic bags are arguably the best option compared to paper and toat with the former using tree parts while being more fragile and the latter being environmentally worse and is produced with the most environmentally harmful products. And as for recycling bins, while they are more common, they are also the most contested measure because nobody agrees how to recycle certain objects, such as whether cans should be recycled per can and being charged more or by weight and requires the cans to be destroyed to accomplish.

Sorry to be overly cynical, but with all messages like this, it won't work. No individual effort by a person will stop climate change. Even banded together, if everyone was recycling, alot of pollution is caused by systematic failures. Concrete manufacturing is an example. That creates alot of waste. But the big problem is, its not as simple as get rid of concrete. Concrete is a useful material for building, and is used extensively for cheap houses. So, invent a revolutionary new material or cheaper and less pollutive way of making concrete, cause a major spike in homelessness that won't go back down or continue polluting. Your choice. That is one of many examples. Many, many examples. Sorry for being so cynical again, thx for reading.
its kinda the issue with the whole "go green" movement. you cant save, help the most people wile cutting back an affordable resources. like you said concrete is very cheap and is used in affordable housing. the medical field HAS to use disposable plastics and paper for sterility to keep people safe. human sanitary need can only be achieved through use of single use items like soaps and well paper and other products for women. in the end wile the eco warriors have a point, they offer no solution to the issue that doesn't cause potential ethics issues.
@@Drbeattles Yeah man, exactly what I’m saying, you’re putting it better than I ever could. The human races existence in its current form necessitates usage of pollutants. Use them, use the slightly less pollutive brother or go back to living in a cave and hunting “insert local animal here”. If everyone chooses choice C (which no one will or wants to(including me(this is turning into lisp code with the brackets))) we might keep our planet in a state we can live on. Choice B just slows the issue for the kids to deal with, as he was saying in the vid.
@@RedLustre there is a solid theory tho that the earth goes through climate change naturally every now and then. I agree that there’s ways we can be less damaging with packing among other things. We won’t delete the issue of human pollutant. It just happens by existing.
@@Drbeattles yeah, we are the problem, we just can’t fix it easily, that’s all. It’s not natural man, old data proves it. We dug this grave, can’t pretend it was always there.

I'd honestly be down if we got a modern reboot of the show, but with the knowledge and nuance we know now of the situation integrated into its stories.
i agree
I think the biggest takeaway here as it comes to Captain Planet isn't really about how correct the show was in its individual ideas but more the changes that it inspired. Science changes CONSTANTLY and so do politics, so any solutions that it proposed that were based in either of those two areas...which was basically EVERY solution that it proposed... were doomed to become very quickly outdated the more that we learned going forward. Those in charge of Captain Planet were working with what they knew. We know a LOT more now and, well...turns out a lot of those old assertions didn't hold up well.
However, the intent of Captain Planet was more to raise awareness of these problems and, to that end, I would say it was HIGHLY successful. It opened up eyes that were before blind to the effects of climate change and provided motivation for people to make changes, even if small ones, for a better tomorrow. We're STILL a long way from where we need to be...and it's certainly arguable that we're not making these changes anywhere NEAR fast enough...but if people are taking it upon themselves to clean up our planet and reverse climate change and their inspiration is Captain Planet, then Captain Planet did its job.
It's not enough for just us, as people, to reduce, reuse and recycle... however, if we do NOTHING, then we risk bringing about our own destruction and will only have ourselves to blame. We can't just ignore climate change and hope it'll go away because it won't. The system needs to change and it will take people to change it, just as it took people to destroy it in the first place. If not our politicians, if not our corporations, if not our governments...
Then, it IS up to us.
That's the message that Captain Planet was giving us and that's the legacy that the show ultimately left us with.
The power is OURS...
Communism and socialism was so good for the environment!
Not realy!

You make a good point about the heart thing
That message of the 3 Rs was pushed so much when I was growing up. Amazed to learn my younger brother had never heard of it and him acting like it's a new thing I'd just made up.
And yet nobody seems to realize they are an ordered list. Recycling is the last choice. Reducing is step one and that is done in conjunction by reusing.
I still remember Disney Channel used to air this one song about the 3 Rs, and the chorus was just "Reduce, reuse, recycle" ad nauseam.
@@GumSkyloard 🎵 reuse reduced recycle🎵
Reduce, Reuse, Realize you have little to no chance of changing anything do to the amount of people on this planet.
Fun fact about where I live: a couple years ago, our recycling plant burned down, so now everything sent there just gets dumped in with the garbage.
as opposed to being shipped to asia to be burned as trash fuel or be land-filled o ver there
while the messages may save been grim, heavy handed and some times inaccurate I feel we today need positive messages. with out them we have in some places back slid or begun doing things my generation grew up knowing NOPT to do.
I feel kids need to hear messages in cartoons like "We are all different and we all believe in different things so lets respect that" or "Other people have feelings too its not nice to hurt them or destroy the things they care about" we need to learn the things Captain Planet never focused on like anger management, setting aside hate, being in a healthy relationship, understanding LGBT issues etc It doesn't have to be Captain Planet just a show that targets kids that's not afraid to talk about gays or divorce or religion or race .
and if a show is going to talk about "Solutions" it needs to step back and admit that problems don't have "One always correct in every situation solution"
rather then arguing over if its better to have solar or wind power we should admit that both have advantages and both have disadvantages and work towards a 3rd option
rather then fighting over banning guns vs gun rights we should admit that both have advantages and both have disadvantages and work towards a 3rd option
in any problem we have there are always options that we refuse to consider because the liberals want the opposite of the conservatives and the conservatives want the opposite of the liberals and neither side wants to work together , to look at all the data and see a new possibility that works.
They both want one idea that is "Right" and all other ideas are "Wrong" so they don't even hear out other options.
there is much wisdom to be gained from the child who says "Why not both?" or in some cases maybe neither. you just can not solve every thing with one solution that applies in all situations. You need to hear every side because both sides state facts.
you say "Follow the science" but both sides have since facts on there side.
as long as you refuse to combine the two sides in to one you'll never get any thing done.
and you shouldn't pressure people to agreeing to a solution that still has flaws
Also don't take out your anger on "The system" the police have feelings and families too. they are doing there job and that job protects YOU the police use force when they have no other choice. when suspects threaten them and give them a hard time they have to use force to get the situation under Controle. If you are a suspect you are not being "Called a criminal" they just want to ask you questions. if you have done nothing wrong then let them search you and when they find you did nothing wrong they will let you go.
More black people are arrested for crimes because black leaders tell there people to resist arrest and to stay angary and that crime is in there culture and they have a right to do it.
and to accuse white people of being the problem is its self a racist attack White is a race and male is a sex if you hate white males you are racist and sexist White men did not cause YOUR problems .
7:36 JoJo fans: you have no idea how powerful the heart is
You have no idea how satisfied I am to finally see someone call out the misconception of people calling the power of heart "useless."
Seriously, if you're a part of a group that fights to protect the environment around the world, would you rather:
Have what are essentially various psychic powers that are useful in any situation.
Or fire powers that are essentially useless, since all you can do is create more fire, in a situation where many environments can get destroyed by said fire.
I wouldn't say Heart is useless but I do think it didn't deserve a ring because it is essentially mind control and an invasion of a person's head which isn't a good thing to do. Plus plant life really got screwed by not having a Ring considering all life on the planet literally depends on plants in whether it's from being a food source or providing oxygen.
@@kenthuang436 while I agree on some levels, the person who is given the heart ring is implied to be a morally good person not to use it for fucked up reasons.

"Famine is caused by failed institutions and capitalism"
While yes, I agree that the institutions are the cause of famines, the 3 worst famines in history had absolutely nothing to do with capitalism, in fact the absolute worst famine, being the great leap forward in 1950s China, was because of the rejection of capitalism through the communist party of China.
you also want the governments to solve the problem...even though most of what you said was that the governments don't care about the problem, and therefore we'll just be giving politicians more power than they really needed. So instead of throwing power and more tax money at the situation, why not offer incentives for practical environmental awareness like giving tax cuts to private companies for new developments in electric cars, cutting the red tape and offering financial assistance to encourage entrepreneurs into creating nuclear plants to slowly phase out the use of fossil fuels, and giving people the real facts about climate change instead of crying apocalypse and actually putting accountability on the major producers of the world's pollution (which are in fact India and China).
Lastly, overpopulation isn't white supremacy nor is it a real problem anymore, the feat that the population would exceed crop growth was solved by Fritz Haber. Look at populations in Africa, they can barely eat, but it's not because the *evil* white man is flying over, picking their crops, and killing their livestock. It's because they live in a geographical wasteland. Sam Kinison said it perfectly. "If you want to end world hunger, don't send them packages of food, send them to WHERE THE FOOD ALREADY IS!" If you want to stop overpopulation in India, then go over there and fix it. India knows that they're too crowded, but they don't give enough of a damn to fix it themselves, so if they won't, then someone needs to.
I know a lot of these solutions are suited for a constitutional republic like the United States, so hopefully within the sea of pro communist replies I get, someone is able to post some ideas on how other systems of government may fix their own environmental issues.

Every time I do the three R’s, a huge pile of stuff that need to be discarded but I don’t want to throw away because it will just add to landfill pollution grows and people think I’m a hoarder and that I need an intervention and help. Thanks Captain Planet for making people think I am a hoarder....
I love Captain Planet, I have no idea why people hate it.
Because there are better shows with better environmental messages.
The whole video goes give hints to why.
I disliked Captain Planet because of how preachy it got and tried guilt tripping viewers over things that they couldn't control. The show tried to tell me that I was a bad person who didn't care about the environment and the only way to show that I cared was to write to politicians but the problem is I was in five and couldn't read or write legibly and I thought women had babies by becoming fat randomly.
Conservatives hate it because they often don't think climate change is real and hate the idea of environmental regulation.
Other people just found it cheesy and yeah, it was rather preachy, most of the stuff going on in it couldn't be changed by a normal citizen especially a child. Granted I guess the real idea was to try to make them environmentalists that would be voting in 10ish years and maybe make them try to make their parents activists.

“Ending fossil capitalism doesn't mean we have to implement socialism. We're stuck in an unimaginative 20th century debate. Regardless of what we'll call the economic system, it is essential that it functions within the planetary boundaries." - Greta Thunberg
1:10 🎶I’d Rather Have A Bowl Of 🎶 *Nuclear Waste*
I'll never get over seeing the IRA episode like THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?
I do find it weird that "non violent" kids media can mean "the protagonists don't do violence but it can still happen on screen, as long as the protagonists aren't doing it."
Fun fact, Duke Nukem used to be called Duke Nukum with a "u" because of Duke Nukem in Captain planet, until Duke's second game (another Apogee platformer) he was known as Duke Nukum. Most of the world remembers him from Duke Nukem 3D and Duke Nukem Forever but he started out as a platformer on the early PC market in the 90s
The German dub renamed him Graf Atomar - Count Atomic. A rather elegant solution.
Goddamn I knew the show covered more than just basic environmental disasters and its super villains. I'd heard of the aids episode before, but they really had no place covering other things. i get why they wanted to and Im sure it was done with good intent, but holy shit its just ridiculous hearing about it.
I mean the overpopulation one is even messier than its origins. We just had a pandemic, and it showed how woefully unprepared we were for dealing with it in dense populations. I'm less concerned about impact and more about quality of life. The more people there are the harder it is to assure standards of living. Sure some of it can be chocked up to shitty systems, but some of it has to fall on carrying capacity (the amount of resources in an environment and how much life it can support). I agree every human has the right to a home, food, water, etc etc base human rights, but we already out strip production for lumber, so how do we build houses? How do we maintain houses already built? It's all wayyyyy more complicated than the politics.
Houses, dunno, maybe build them from material that lasts more than 30 years.
That's why, in 1 bby, captain planet snapped half of all life with the one ring to rule them all.

"Only you can prevent pollution" - Captain Smokey
recycling would be nice, if it actually did anything, but processing recycled garbage is too labour intensive, which makes the products of recycling too expensive to be worth while, and so recycled stuff generally just goes into a landfill like all the other trash.
now maybe robots can fix that, by taking the labour cost to zero so long as the machine's energy and upkeep costs are low enough it could work...so long as the things being recycled CAN be recycled. glass and metal are generally really easy to recycle, but they often have the issue of being mixed with other things, so coloured glass generally has to be that same colour or something which is a mix of two colours, you won't get clear glass from coloured glass, and the same is true for plastic. plastic has the added issue that it degrades when recycled. similarly metal has alloy problems. carbon steel can be easily made into any other kind of carbon steel, we know pretty well how to pull carbon out of steel and put it back, but pulling out molybdenum or tungsten or chromium...bit harder, not impossible just more expensive than going the other way.
as for timber and paper, these are made from forests that are grown specifically to be cut down, they are a crop, like wheat or corn, and like a crop they are replaced when they are cut down. this is actually a good thing, because a growing tree pulls more CO2 than a mature tree.
now that CO2 WILL be released back into the atmosphere at some point, either when it is burnt or when it decays...but it means you would be better BURYING carboard or paper than recycling it, same for lumber. if you bury it, that carbon goes back into the ground and becomes coal some day. the caveat is you gotta bury it really deep or it will just decompose and release that carbon back into the air.
you can do the same thing with cotton clothes, or even wool, anything with carbon got its carbon from the atmosphere, so you can bury animals, we already bury humans but not nearly deep enough (except those ones that are like hermetically sealed)
you could raise literal scapegoats, goats that are raised, sacrificed, and buried to offset carbon emissions. but that would be a pretty big waste of money.
you would also need to bury A LOT to offset emissions.

I legitimately expected him to say plant a tree and conserve paper products by reusing them I laughed out loud when Captain Planet set the bullshit answer
The funny thing is, in a capitalist society, the free market allows you to choose to not support business that pollutes, so you can actually make a difference, along with others, to stop supporting businesses and in turn, affect what choices they make. The super rich get rich off of people buying their product. If you dont want to support a polluting company, a capitalist society allows you to not support them. Its interesting for someone who has seen how government works, like in your TMNT being censored in England, and for someone trying to get people to join together, you actively choose to go about it differently than I would think. Ultimately, my main point is, conservatives and liberals both want the best for everyone (minus politicians who only benefit themselves), but we think of different ways to achieve those goals. Im tired of the hate towards the average human who is conservative for being conservative, or towards liberals for being liberal. I dont think anyone is inherently bad for their political views. I like your videos cause they show a different perspective than I would have thought sometimes
Radiation must be a weird enemy to fight since is everywhere doing absolutly nothing and if not used for Nukes is the safest and useful energy source and medical diagnosis and treatment
Yeah this was made after all the bit nuclear disasters that poisoned the waterhole on that topic
Nuclear isn't the safest energy source, given the several catastrophic failures at nuclear plants in the last half-century or so (three mile island, Chernobyl, that one in Japan, not to mention the dangers of mining uranium) but it's safer than coal, so at least it has that going for it.
