Children of the '90s learned the importance of environmentalism from the animated antics of Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Adults received a more formal education by a man equally important and compassionate about Earth: Al Gore.
Though lacking in blue skin and green hair, Gore's intelligence and environmental insight paired with Captain Planet's sparkle creates a superhero force that Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Heart combined could only dream about.
In honor of Earth Day, we juxtaposed some of Gore's powerful quotes to Captain Planet GIFs for a series that's sure to bring pollution down to zero. Or at least inspire you to recycle.
Goooo(re) Planet!
