"The world is a finite place, especially when you take it down to an island," says Johnson who penned two platinum albums, "Brushfire Fairytales" and "On and On" and also directed the groundbreaking surf film "Thicker than Water."  "Through the Kokua Hawaii Foundation kids can now in a fun way learn that recycling is their responsibility and just as much as putting trash in a trashcan."

The documentary, which follows Jack through a day on the famed "Seven-Mile Miracle" of surfing (including a segment of he and his friend Kelly Slater surfing second-reef Pipeline), carries a strong environmental message.  In one scene, Jack returns to his old elementary school, Sunset Beach Elementary across from Pipeline, to perform the new recycling tune he wrote for the kids called "The 3-R Song; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle."
