Celebrate Ted Turner, the real life Captain Planet September 25, 2019 We’re excited to announce that CNN’s Ted Turner: Captain Planet will premiere this weekend on both CNN International and CNN U.S. The documentary piece, which is produced by CNN International (CNNI) and hosted by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, spotlights Ted’s pioneering conservation efforts across his properties and elsewhere.

Donate today to help us empower more youth to be problem solvers for the planet! “Save Everything.” An audacious goal to match the audacity of the man behind it – Ted Turner. Among all of his other forward-thinking, push-the-envelope ideas that have changed the world, in 1989, Ted Turner challenged one of his equally bold producers, Barbara Pyle, to create a superhero for the planet, a character that would become recognized globally as Captain Planet. Almost thirty years later, the Captain Planet Foundation is humbled and honored to continue advancing the legacy of Ted Turner and Captain Planet & the Planeteers by engaging and empowering young people to become problem solvers for the planet. We encourage everyone who believes in taking bold action for the future of the planet to tune into CNN this weekend to celebrate the accomplishments of the real life Captain Planet.
