Sorry to ruin your new years plans, but eco-villains have invented a time machine. They plan to go back to the 1950's, when there were no environmental laws, and emit enough carbon to make Greenland into a beach-front resort!
This is the premise for a fantastic episode of Captain Planet that will be performed tonight on Twitter at 8:00 ET. To check it out, follow the characters below, or watch the hashtag #newyear.

Without giving too much away, the episode illuminates two possible paths you, dear reader, can go down in the new year. In one path, you decide that you are not important, and that your actions don't really make a difference for the planet. As a result, we continue on our unsustainable course toward major global climate change. In the other, you believe in your own power to make a difference, and you take up the fight for the planet like it is what you were born for.
One one thing is certain, you do have the power to affect the way the future goes. So what will it be?
