His Kokua Hawaii Foundation was started to help support environmental education in the state. Through hands-on learning activities, the kids learn about their environment on the island and how to take care of it.
Jack Johnson does what he can to make sure that his tours are green, too. His backstage requests often include water efficient showers. He has a traveling chef on tour who uses fresh, local, and organic food . He works with a company called Reverb. The company helps musicians on tour green up their tour, generally speaking. He and his crew use aluminum water bottles, recycle all they can, use biofuel...and the list goes on.
Musicians like Jack Johnson are helping to make a bigger impact than we may suspect.
