>the majority of things they seethed about like acid rain or the hole in the ozone layer or visible pollution have been solved
>>151789368Or never existed in the first placeIt's been hilarious seeing the types of people who praised the Lorax kinda realizing the Onceler was right. He was using a renewable resource, and making infinitely reusable goods out of it. Only thing he did wrong was cut too many down, which in real life, when you cut a tree down, all of its little saplings surrounding it shoot up from the new sunlight. You'd have to work HARD unless there's something super wrong with truffula trees that makes them bad at self-replanting. maybe the barbaloots are required? symbiosis?
And AIDS.
>>151790220shame we cured aids
>>151789368So it worked
>>151790274the hole in the ozone layer was solved before the first season. the Montreal practical to phased out CFCs and freon was in 1987 and season 1 was in 1990
>>151790083Ecological collapse due to monocropping is a very real risk with plantation-style agriculture.
>>151790083He didn't even need to chop the trufulas down. He was using just the tufts. He could have just pulled those off and let the tree stand and grow more.
>>151790675The Onceler was pretty terrible at sustainable forestry.
>>151790254No, look at this board.
>>151790675The movie has a lot of problems, but one thing I like is that it made clear that the truffla trees could be sustainably harvested without harming the tree.Cutting them down was purely for keeping costs down and maximizing profit, and that's where the evil came in.
>>151789368Could Captain Planet and the Planeteers defeat India?
>>151790646it's not as big an issue with trees. Africa is funny. I watched what was probably a paid propaganda vid of a guy hunting in africa because I think the african hunting guns are cool and they showed how there was like a wedge of land between the game reserve and the national park and the africans were fucking clear cutting sections of land, farming it for like 3 years and then clear cutting another section of land because they didn't have fertilizer so the nutrient decay problem was an issue. I saw some vid where a historian said that was a historical problem and one of the reasons people took so long to start agriculture
>>151790868Captain Planet would unironically die in india. he loses his power when there's pollution
>>151790919It's still a pretty big deal with trees unless properly managed.
>>151789368I wouldn't mind a modern reboot of this, but with more nuance and more realistic down-to-earth issues that aren't just a guy rolling coal for the sake of polluting while twirling a mustache. Many issues are simply a byproduct of the human population and ignorance, and it could focus on educating people on how greed and ignorance have dire knock-on effects. For example, did you know that raking leaves in autumn is fucking retarded and disrupts the insect and small animal population while lowering soil quality? In just a few decades of normalizing raking and binning/burning leaves we've done horrific damage to nature. What are you meant to do? Leave them the fuck alone and let them rot into the soil, it's worked for 400 million years.
>>151790646fair, but we understood that thousands of years ago.>>151790831But how does that keep costs down? This is the problem with the modern socialist, he doesn't understand how business works. he thinks it's a machine where you put evil and a big pile of money in one end, and out the other end comes a severely reduced amount of money for you, and suffering for others.
>>151791266leaves in the water make it taste like shit. and once snow falls, the snow and leaves make a really tangled, difficult mass to clear away.a bigger argument is just that it doesn't work. raking leaves is like herding cats, you will never make a dent in it.
>>151791266>Many issues are simply a byproduct of the human populationthey literally have an episode where an environmental themed theme park says white people use up too many resources, you need to stop having kids but thirdies having kids is fine
>>151790919Slash and Burn or clear cutting remains a major issue in tropical regions worldwide.
>>151791266I would kill for a watchmen-style edgy sequel where they find out nuclear energy is safe and eastern countries are secretly the biggest polluters
>>151791281It keeps cost down by reducing machinery and labor required for harvest, while additionally allowing the trees to be harvest for lumber.
>>151791675>none of the planeters are jeets
>>151791929>magic schoolbus
>>151791929>Everything I don't like is a fetishThe state of zoomers.
>>151789368>Y2K didn't affect anything, I don't know why people were so worried about it.Y2K didn't affect anything BECAUSE everyone worried about it, and worked en mass to fix it.
