Jack, Paula & John Spread Aloha to Local Green Schools in Hawaii

To close the tour, Jack, Paula, John and Kokua Hawaii Foundation staff, made a special visit to Waiakea Elementary School in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii to reward the students for the incredible work they have done creating a school-wide recycling program as part of their Kokua Earth Action Project this year.

Last week, Jack Johnson and Paula Fuga surprised students, teachers and staff of Ewa Makai Middle School with a concert at an all-school assembly to reward the school for their recent National Green Ribbon School Award. Following the concert Kokua Hawaii Foundation co-founders, Jack, his wife Kim, went on a student-led tour of the school and got a chance to see their LEED Certified Gold campus, recycling program, vermicomposting pipeline used for the school cafeteria’s excess food waste, organic gardens, butterfly atrium, aquaponics and hydroponics systems, and much more!
