Captain Planet and the Planeteers is a United States animated environmentalist television series created by Ted Turner and produced by Jane Fonda and Nicholas Boxer.
The Planeteers used transportation based on solar power in order to avoid causing pollution themselves (the origin of the vehicles was never explained—conjecture exists that the vehicles may have been sent from the future, given the rampant use of time travel in later seasons).
Some feel that Captain Planet's presence in the show undermines its message of environmental activism, as the Planeteers are given a "genie" they can call to solve their problems for them.
