Jack Johnson’s record label, Brushfire Records, is blazing a trail in environmental responsibility among record labels. Brushfire is headquartered in a newly-renovated green building, leveraging a number of innovative features to keep their environmental impact low. These features include: solar panels providing all power for offices and studio, interior/exterior wall insulation made from 100% post consumer waste (cotton from blue jean scraps), Duro-Last green roof, and recycled shingles. In addition, the label pays close attention to its internal operations, monitoring energy use and increasing efficiency through lighting and fixtures, reducing office waste and ensuring company-wide recycling, sourcing sustainable goods for office supplies and other operational needs, and offsetting all company CO2 emissions.

::TRANSCRIPT::
Jack Johnson: I sleep. I sleep through it. That’s just it. No, I take it as I can. I try to keep a positive outlook on life and just try to write songs that make people feel good about being human, try to point out things to be hopeful about. That’s kind of it. Yeah, I don’t know. I try to not get angry about things and just I find if I get angry I’m not quite as productive. You know if I can stay in a positive space and still point out the problems and what can be fixed or what we could work towards without saying it in a place that is hateful or angry. Seems to be the best thing for me.
