It&#8217;s enough to make you feel sick.<\/p>\n<p>But Jack Johnson doesn&#8217;t just talk about protecting the environment. His label &#8220;Brushfire Records&#8221; and his tour crew are pioneers in organising green events. Jack Johnson and his wife have set up several foundations, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/kokuahawaiifoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kokua Hawaii Foundation<\/a> to promote environmental education and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnsonohana.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation<\/a>, which promote environmental awareness through art and music worldwide. Since 2001, he has raised more than 30 million USD through his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/activities-on-fuerteventura\/\">activities<\/a> and private donations.
