Urgent Need for Environmental-Protection Super-Heroes in Comic Books and Cartoons

The extreme urgency of the environmental mandate that all of human civilization is facing suggests the great need for a new series of comic book and television cartoon super-heroes.

I am referring to fictional superheroes for children, very inspirational superheroes who will each courageously:
---combat the global warming effect;
---contribute mightily toward global reforestation of this entire planet.
---help to save endangered species.
---clean up each of the polluted rivers and lakes throughout the world.
---promote, and participate in, recycling of items such as plastic products, glass products, aluminum products, and paper products.
---promote world peace, including through friendships that those superheroes forge with a wide variety of animals and botanical plants around the world.
---help to put a stop to injurious forms of noise pollution that victimize human beings.

I'm also hopeful that some creative and idealistic PhD candidate or Master's Degree candidate at some university in the United States will soon pursue a dissertation or research project examining and profiling any of the previous environmental-protection-minded comic-book figures or cartoon heroes of the last 100-year period.

Those comic-book figures might be viewed as helpful forerunners to the ultra-benevolent and world-saving environmental-protection crusaders of comic books and cartoons of the 21st Century. And it makes sense for research projects to explore those great comic book heroes of the past who "paved the way" for the globe-saving comic-book superheroes of the 21st Century.

Eventually, a new museum and accompanying archives library will be established that's exclusively devoted to exploring the role of environmental-protection crusaders in modern American fiction, including in fictional works that were primarily written for children.
