Captain Planet was a hero in the 90s. Not anymore. It turns out that BECAUSE eco-friendliness is now a life that you can purchase (at Starbucks, Target, Toyota, Stop and Shop, etc.) and a style that you can wear (in American Apparel, Toms Shoes, etc.) it no longer can be really taken seriously as something HEROIC, DIFFICULT, and SIGNIFICANT. The truth is, some good things in the world are really hard. Taking care of the environment is one of them. Fashion isn’t really so hard, and that’s why it’s fabulous. It’s a luxury, it’s a pleasure, it’s a style. It seems we need to keep an eye on what becomes “fashion” or we’ll lose all our superheros and seriousness.
