Prof. Botany, Water Warrior, Big Rooty & Green Ranger Battle Heat Freak

Heat Freak is one of the environmental villains, and he hates green spaces. He prefers to heat things up – places like sidewalks, driveways and anything shade can’t get to. He also causes the heat island effect. That’s the phenomenon where cities are hotter than nearby green areas.

But Green Ranger has tremendous super powers! He not only traps carbon dioxide, shares oxygen, and keeps the soil in place. He also helps cool down the surrounding areas – halting Heat Freak in his tracks.

And he doesn’t even need to be green to do these things! Sometimes grass turns brown, but that’s OK. It’s just turning off until it rains again.
