We lost a giant today.
Our real life superhero.
Ted Turner imagined a world where peace is our North Star, sustainability is our shared language, and collaboration, hope, and young people are our greatest tools in building a livable future for all.
In loving memory of Ted’s vision, Captain Planet Foundation will continue to be his living legacy with purpose, gratitude and joy.
Rest in Power, Ted.
The Power is Yours.
