That didn't stop it from being a great show at the time, though I don't know if a series like Captain Planet would be as good today as it was then.

Gonna take pollution down to zero
He's our powers magnified
And he's fighting on the planet's side
Captain Planet, he's our hero
Gonna take pollution down to zero
Gonna help him put asunder
Bad guys who like to loot and plunder
"You'll pay for this Captain Planet!"
We're the Planeteers
You can be one too
'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do!
Looting and polluting is not the way
Hear what Captain Planet has to say!
"The Power is Yours!"

Was he the yellow and red dude?
He was this evil clone of Captain Planet (with the colors inverted) who had pollution-based powers. The villains even had their own rings to call him with, as I recall.

The rings were like the opposites of the regular rings, and it was something like:
Deforestation!
Radiation!
Smog!
Toxics!
Hate!
And of course, "By your powers combined, I'm Captain Pollution!", or something like that.

Actually, it's Super Radiation!
---
Anyway, I liked the show... a bit, although I did have some problems with it, along with others.
One, why the hell did those villians do it
? It's never told their motive or purpose, it almost seems like they do it with no purpose at all.
(as random villian) : Hey kids, let's go throw some radiation in the river. Why? Who cares? I just want to do it!---
Second, Captain Planet was used if they had a problem, acting as a deus ex machina. Imagine the children actually trying to pull it off.
: Oh no, my cat fell down the well! Captain Planet, save him!*later*
: ...
: WAAAAAH!I'm coming off so negative...

As far as I could tell, it was something like a long-distance telepathy/empathy... power... thing... yeah, I don't know either.
I loved the show when I was a kid, largely because it was all superheroic and such. When I watched it more recently, I realized just how, well, campy it got at times. Captain Planet cracked puns like nothing else except other classic superheroes, possibly Golden Age and such. (I'm not really a superhero comics fan.)
Also, it never really occurred to me how often the team had to explain things to Wheeler. I'm not sure if this was driven by some sort of political correctness or just because it's Wheeler. (The show was still definitely geared towards the US audience, with all the "write to your Congressman" advice they gave in the episode-end Planeteer Alert or whatever it was called.)
The show presented all the problems in a really simplistic manner, and emphasised the use of future tech a bit much, when practical applications would probably be a tad more complicated. And I do agree with the complaint that they called upon Captain Planet a bit too often to take care of relatively mundane problems; one episode I remember had them summon him in order to talk to various high school students about AIDS.
Also, the monkey annoyed me a lot more than it should have.
That kid nobody likes.

Heart was the only ring with multiple powers not based on an element. Its main power was Empathy, but it also had telepathy and a bit of mind-control in there, too. It's potentially the most powerful ring of them all, since technically the wearer could control the other four ring-wearers if they wished to do so. Of course, with the corny, stereotype heroes, that never happened. >_>;

I hated it that the kids were useless after Captain Planet was formed on a show that advocated the power being yours.

So in short you're saying, it was the one ring that could rule them all?
