Captain Planet Really Was My Hero!
By: Natalie M. Date: January 25, 2010
“Captain Planet he’s our hero Gonna chase pollution down to zero Gonna help him put [them] (2) under Bad guys who like to loot and plunder…” (1)
The lyric of this song plays in my mind every now and again. I can remember waking up early Saturday mornings in the 90’s as a kid and watching what many would describe today as good wholesome television. Yes they were cartoons, and even though back then it was manly for entertainment and enjoyment, subconsciously we were learning great wonderful tidbits of knowledge about our environment and planet. This knowledge came so clear to us in a manner that we could understand then easily, yet the concept was so big that we still cherish it and heed to those same teachings in our more mature years. Those were the days.
So, why are there no prominent environmental shows for the younger generations of today? How will they learn to take care of our planet? It is sad to say that there are very scares preprogramming like Captain Planet available to the young generations of today. No more television shows like Captain Planet, Tarzan, Smurfs, Widget the World Watcher, or even Bill Nye the Science Guy. These shows that talked about saving the planet, respecting the animals, learning to speak for nature and its inhabitants when they are not able to speak for themselves, and better understanding the habitat that we call home have now been replaced with shows of a more popular economic consumer motive. Show’s like Degrassi : The Next generation, Sailor Moon, Pokémon, Digimon that would benefit big media corporations not only by the amount of views they had on their shows but by marketing strategies that helped them to create consumer products like action figures, card games, fashion accessories and clothes that related to the show for kids to get their parents to buy it for them. This is now where the money and the motives lay and the younger generations are being sucked into their trap like a swarm of bees to honey.
There needs to be a change. Television networks need to install more environmentally friendly TV programming for the younger generations like they did when I was growing up. It helped my generation to be more environmentally alert citizens which is lacking in those who are coming up after us. It seems that as consumerism takes the lead as a popular trend the media could care less about environmental consciousness being sold out as well. It is wrong, saddening and immoral from many view points. Having shows like Captain Planet in my youth has helped me to become a more environmentally conscious person, and many people of my generation who I have gotten an opportunity to talk about our influences for environmental choices that we make often point back to television shows that we had watched and enjoyed during our youth. I see the difference when I look at how my brother and sister interact with their environment only being three to five years apart from me, they have missed out on being able to be impacted by these shows that have helped me to understand that it is indeed wrong to throw my garbage on the street, or that we should take every opportunity we can to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. These values are now harder for them to grasp where as to those like me it becomes our second nature.
What are we to think when the media presents such a dual message to us? On one hand they are begging for us to wake up and change because we are now at a point where we see the negative impact that our negligence has done to our planet, and on the other hand they are feeding the younger generations of tomorrow the notion that it is okay to remain practicing these careless acts of over indulgence, and consumerism from their tender ages. The same minds that they are polluting could otherwise be the impacting change for a greener future with the right mind set and values instilled into their lives. Words like…
“We're the planeteers, You can be one too! 'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do, Looting and polluting is not the way, Hear what Captain Planet has to say:” (1)
I for one am grateful for the sense of power these shows let me understand that I posses as a person who is willing to help keep our planet as healthy as possible. I believe that by putting back shows like these on the television for the younger generations to watch enjoy and learn we can gain a greater much needed response for the future. They need to understand that…
“THE POWER IS [THEIRS] (3) !”(1) too.
CYA, RESPECT
