Jack Johnson

by Colin from Glenbrook

“Don't let your dreams be dreams.” -Jack Johnson

My hero is Jack Johnson. He was born in Oahu, Hawaii, May 1st 1975; his parents are Jeff and Patti Johnson. I chose Jack to be my hero because I like his music and songs. Some words that describe Jack are inspiring, caring, respectful, kind, and role model. He is these things because he sings about the environment in his songs and tries to persuade people to take care of the Earth.

Jack Johnson is a hero because he cares about the environment. He does things to help the environment too, like his tour bus runs on reusable eco friendly biodiesel fuel, and all his merchandise is eco friendly.

Jack Johnson is very good to the environment and has made a difference in many people's lives and the world. He donated $65,000 to the Red Cross, and raised $122,835.05 in touring money.

That’s why Jack Johnson is a hero; he is inspiring, caring, respectful, kind, and a role model.
