Captain planet. He's the Hero.
"Ted Turner created Captain Planet in 1990 with the intent of entertaining viewers and increasing awareness of environmental hazards."
Relevant much?
The show also included 'Public Service Announcements' at the end of each show, bringing important environmental issues to the minds of children, in ways that they can understand.
Captain planet essentially kills two birds with one stone, it entertains children using the tactics mentioned in pervious posts. But, it also instills core environmental values in young children, they grow up understanding the importance of being green, and see the mindless destruction of our environment as literally 'Evil'.
