A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste (1)

Big Matsch will ein Salzbergwerk in eine Giftmülldeponie verwandeln. Das will das Planetenteam natürlich verhindern. Captain Planet hat sich an die Fersen eines Umweltsünders namens Captain Vernichter geheftet. Sowohl die fünf Freunde als auch Captain Planet drohen jedoch, an ihren Vorhaben zu scheitern.

The Planeteers argue what to do. Either go to Africa & save the animals or go to North America to save a rainforest. Gaia tells them that's there's an emergency at Commander Clash's island. And also that Looten Plunder's up to no good as well. At the island, Captain Pollution returns to fight Captain Planet causing destruction around the world. Meanwhile, the Planeteers try to stop Plunder, but Plunder puts them in a trap inside the cave with no way out.
