EPISODE 16 - METEOHEROES WELCOME MR. RO-BIN

The MeteoHeroes (especially Adam(Fulmen)) are thrilled to meet Mr. Ro-Bin, an interactive robot designed to help people properly sort all of their refuse. Their intoduction, however, is cut short by the ALARM! A small town outside of St. Petersburg, Russia is complaining about a strong, foul odor so bad it’s making local children ill. Suspecting a problem with garbage or waste management, the MeteoHeroes send Fulmen and Nix to investigate. They discover a mysterious, fenced-in island in the center of the local lake... which turns out to be a gigantic garbage dump belonging to Dr.Makina. Robot-loving Fulmen is thrilled to realize that the huge, noxious mountain of unsorted refuse is the perfect job for Mr. Ro-Bin! He retrieves the robot from the MEC at Super-Speed, and they set about properly handling all of the poorly-managed garbage... Fulmen and Nix find a number of exciting ways totake out the many Maculans who try to prevent Ro-Bin from completing its task... But in the end, the trash mountain is properly sorted and the offending stench is completely gone. Mission accomplished!

FUN FACTS EPISODE 16 - RECYCLING

What is recycling and why is it so important for the health of the planet? Let's find out with Brianna and the MeteoHeroes

EPISODE 17 - THERMAL WATER POLLUTION - CENTRAL EUROPE (Poland)

Ecological crisis in a Polish lake! An increase in water temperature is making the lake dangerous for the local fish population.
The MeteoHeroes must identify and solve the problem – before the local fisherman are forced to abandon their village and leave the lake forever.
Thermo and Ventum are dispatched via Jet Stream to investigate... They discover that the cool lake water is being used to keep Dr. Makina’s nearby Thermal Power plant from overheating, then pumped back into the lake at a significantly higher temperature. At this heat-level there isn’t enough dissolved oxygen in the lake water for the fish to breathe – which puts the local fish population in real danger of completely dying out.
Springing into heroic action, the MeteoHeroes face off against the Maculans who are trying to stop them and successfully shut the power plant down. The fish are saved and the fishermen won’t have to abandon their home after all.

EPISODE 18 - METEOHEROES RESCUE THE TURTLES

There’s a crisis brewing on the Mediterranean coast of Spain: fishing by dragging giant nets, or“trawling”, is threatening not only sea life, but also their undersea environment.
Only the MeteoHeroes can save the endangered sea life (particularly turtles) AND put a stop to the invasive, destructive fishing method known as “trawling”.
Pluvia and Fulmen are chosen for this mission; Fulmen runs to the Spanish coast, beating Pluvia, who gets there with the Jet Stream. Hero time! Fulmen slices the nets from the fishing boats and thinks he’s saved the day. Until Pluvia reminds him that the giant net cannot be allowed to remain on the ocean floor. A bit humbled, Fulmen tries to help Pluvia free the sea life caught up in the trawling net – until the Maculans show up and try to haul in the net, which would be the end of all the trapped sea creatures. Will the MeteoHeroes be able to save the turtles and their environment?

Fishing with destructive methods such as trawling also kills dolphins, turtles, etc., marine fauna not destined for our tables.  The phenomenon is called "Bycatch"

EPISODE 20 - METEOHEROES IN A MOUNTAIN OF RUBBISH

The other MeteoHeroes wait for Adam(Fulmen) to finish pigging out – wolfing down everything left on the kitchen table... He finishes and tosses everything remaining into the rubbish bin... WITHOUT SEPARATING OUT THE RECYCLABLES! Emilia loudly chides him for this careless, and very un-MeteoHero-like, act! Just as the ALARM sounds. Too many inexperienced climbers are trying to scale the famous peak of Mont Blanc - putting themselves into danger, and leaving rubbish everywhere. The MeteoHeroes have got to clean up that mountain! Ventum and Nix are chosen for the mission. Their efforts to restore the mountain paths to their pristine state are complicated by the perils inherent in mountaineering AND the presence of Maculans, who are determined to help a pair of ill-prepared mountain climbers to plant Dr.Makina’s flag atop the mountain. Nix and Ventum work together to blow the Maculans away, clean the trash from the mountain AND, with a big assist from GiantGiga, rescue the foolish pair of would-be Makina flag planters. Mission accomplished!
