Answer: RECYCLE CONTENT
Throughout the Workshop and Ocean there are 14 puzzles that have content "Recommended For You" that seems extraneous to the puzzle. Each of these has a clickbait headline and following the link gives a list of items pertanent to that headline. There are two different news sources, BuzzDeep and the Puffington Post. Within each news source, the numbers in the headlines are unique and the answers to the puzzles with linked content also have unique lengths. The number in the headline of a given puzzle is not the length of the answer for that puzzle, but of a different puzzle from that news source. This allows each set of puzzles to form a ring.
For example, the puzzle Erraticism has the clickbait headline "7 Slang Terms for Children We are Totally Over" which matches to the 7-letter answer for the Coins in the chest, DRESDEN. The coins' clickbait headline is "4 Names for Pizza Places That are Full of Win", witch matches to the 4-letter answer TACO to the puzzle Munchies, and so on.
In each article for each news source there is one list item that could also be a member of the empty list on the Captain Planet puzzle page. The completed lists are below, in order by the ring order described above. For each news source one of the headlines has "first" in it, denoting where to start writing.
Each puzzle answer is associated with the with one clickbait list, as described above. Because the number of items in the list matches the length of the answer, each list item can be associated with a particular letter from the correstponding puzzle answers (e.g., each letter from TACO can be matched with a pizza place). If you take the letters for the clickbait list items that get reused on Captain Planet's new lists (e.g., the C in TACO that corresponds with Bobby's World) and read them in order, you get the solution to Captain Planet's problem: RECYCLE CONTENT
