Launched in 1991, the foundation was co-created by Ted Turner and “Captain Planet and the Planeteers” executive producer Barbara Pyle as a way to take lessons from the popular animated series and translate them to real world results.
The Foundation has made grants to educators, both formal and informal, in 90 countries which has directly funded and engaged 1.6 million youth in hands-on environmental projects and impacted over 10 million youth.
Laura was interviewed on Good Day Atlanta for the 30 year celebration gala which honored Oscar-winner Jane Fonda, White House advisor Jerome Foster II, and television star Bill Nye as “environmental heroes” for the event.
Here is a video from Captain Planet Foundation showing the three-decades-strong mission to leave our planet strong for the next generation.
