...and if you'll allow the word 'planeteer'
1. Someone who helps protect the environment.
2. Someone with a magic ring from w:Captain Planet
(from Wiktionary)

and 'planeter', which should be a word but probably isn't...

...then this ten letter word works:

planeteers
planeters
planeter
planter
plater
later
late
ate
at
a

Oh, I don't know. I started at the end of the tail. It took five tries to find a word that would work.

I haven't even got the nine REQUESTED characters. So an official disqualification wouldn't surprise me. Sic transit.

(not going to make a living out of this)
