Sandy Soil, Rainey Water, and Wendy Air are the Earth Kids, environmental superheroes. They have superpowers to fight pollution and end climate change. The Earth Kids believe all living creatures should breathe clean air, drink clean water, and have clean soil.
Earth Kids and a Green Environment
The Earth Kids have superpowers to clean polluted air, water, and soil. Their mission is to create a green environment. The Earth Kids teach communities how to protect the environment with its biodiversity through more sustainable life choices. They aim to eliminate plastic waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and toxic air pollutants.
Sandy Soil
Sandy Soil takes action to remove dangerous pesticides, toxic waste, or chemicals present in the soil. When these hazardous substances are dumped, sprayed, or spilled onto the ground, they pollute the environment.
Sandy prevents toxic chemicals in the soil from causing life-threatening illnesses to people and animals. Her superpowers remove pollutants from soil, rock, and sediment. Sandy’s volcanic feet produce the energy to melt steel, vaporize water into steam, and heat soil to volatilize organic solvents. She can even turn toxic substances into glass.
A person or animal becomes exposed by contacting the contaminated soil with their hands or body. By touching soil, digging a hole, or gardening, you are exposed to the pollutants in soil.
Exposure to contaminants in soil happens by two other pathways, inhalation and ingestion. This occurs from breathing contaminated dust and soil particles that are swept up by the wind. This happens from eating fruits and vegetables grown in contaminated soil.
Sandy’s goals are to stop polluters from polluting, remove contaminants, and protect soil from toxic chemicals.
Rainey Water
Rainey Water removes pollutants contaminating lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and drinking water wells. With superpowers to clean up and purify polluted water, Rainey restores water quality. He removes toxic metals (lead, arsenic) pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons (oils and gasoline), and organic solvents.
Rainey filters, extracts, absorbs, and neutralizes pollutants in water. He possesses the power and energy of steam, the force of a rushing waterfall, and the strength of a tsunami. By lowering his body temperature, Rainey freezes and becomes as hard as an iceberg.
Wendy Air
Wendy Air takes action to remove smoke, ash, particulate matter (very tiny particles), and toxic air emissions. These pollutants degrade air quality. She has superpowers to clean polluted air and make it safe to breathe again. Wendy can filter, absorb, extract, and remove toxic gases, and particulate matter from polluted air.
Wendy’s powers remove air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and small amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. She possesses the power of a tornado, the force of a mighty wind, and the strength of a large vacuum.
She is developing strategies to fight global warming and climate change. Wendy can do other amazing things as well.
