There is a superhero who has a group of young people to save our only home from catastrophe. That's right, the Captain Planet appears to stop any eventuality that affects the environment, and his birthday is very close. This September 15 in 2019 he turns almost 30.
In this way, the team is made up of five young people who come from different continents. To whom the spirit of the Earth, Gaia, handed them over to Kwame, Gi, Linka, Wheeler and Ma-Ti, five magic rings, with the powers of Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Heart. Therefore, when they join together they call upon the eco-friendly superhero, Captain Planet.
Obviously, it's an animated series created to raise awareness about the changes our planet is undergoing due to pollution and environmental destruction.
The beginnings of Captain Planet
The animated series of 6 seasons and 113 chapters It was produced by the millionaire Ted Turner, owner of CNN, produced by DIC Enterprise for Turner Broadcasting System (TBS).

After years, it is still valid
Now then, the fires that have been occurring for days in the AmazonSome claim they are man-made, and they are spreading across large areas. Added to this is the seasonal drought that has made the damage worse. This brings back memories of Captain Planet and the Planeteers..
It's worth noting that this year, there has been a record increase in these wildfires, with more than 74,000 reported from January to August of this year, 2019. Consequently, several countries apart from Brazil have been affected, such as Peru, Bolivia and Colombia.For example, populated areas in Peru, Brazil, and Argentina have received smoke on wind currents.
Until recently, world leaders and personalities joined together to make a global call for the protection of this jungle area.. Likewise, the tropical rainforest in Central Africa, is being affected by raging fires in Angola, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The warning voice was spread from NASA, because cMore than 10,000 fires have been recorded between Angola and Congo.. Where savannas predominate and these have been generated by drought and indiscriminate logging for agriculture.
What would the superhero do?
Now, with this situation the question arises What would Captain Planet do to extinguish such disasters, without so much protocol?. Perhaps I would use the elements of Earth, Water and even Air itself.
Surely, The solutions to these catastrophes could be in some of its chapters.. Such as Radiant Amazon, Dirty Politics, or Deadly Ransom, just to name a few.
