Thank the brand new song it's called that's for somebody else. Big guy. Named. Somebody in. Charge. Ben. Barnes looking up. From. The Earth. Again. In a. Video. The guy chuckled from. Now on the even down his. Face. We'll look into bring. Don't know. Jack Johnson welcome back to the town Thank you. But I'm glad you're here it is going to be exponential grass together right on the solar powered wrist earlier today half of the next. Until we're living together. So it's not going to take that large so be careful. Growing up in the north sure did you pitch into the wind and musicians like Ray Conner the Beamers are doing those kinds of things that stuff was what I grew up with my. The neat thing about music home in Hawaii is a lot of the music here is not so much up on a stage with lights I mean if you go to Waikiki if you could see that kind of stuff that my 1st music was over the quarter the yard couple play music and then you know people were out here with joy and there wasn't a line between it you know it was really encourage for kids to come and join in everything. Yeah and I got to play with this guy because he learned how to place like a guitar from Gabby when he was a kid he's the one that showed me a lot of the open tunings that we use we actually played with him last week he joined us on stage excluding all the galley pound we record and it's a double album and your Been up on the inside covers photographs of the backyard somewhere. And they were photo. The band and there's. Great guitars and one of them. As well as last I just think of that would be like I think of that as being musical heaven and the I magine that's how you make your records you know that's the image that comes to mind or Jack made a record that's the scene I have in my mind just like you hang it on your back yard with the chickens in the Premier and it's promise we did not talk about this before but it's funny you mention that that photograph means everything in my life I mean that same feeling when I saw that photograph of the kid growing up and then later as we started making our own records we turned the 2 car garage into a studio with my brother help me thought. It looked like rational study gone feels like a studio and my dad came in there 1st time he was like What are you going to record here watching this record in the driveway there is pressure out there and everything you know and you see that Gabby record and I was always an inspiration for a lot of times we do a run like what they did in the chords up and go outside and we have this out the back of this big monkey factory and it's if you look on the record on and on Actually you're open enough it's not as cool looking at there is but you see me and out I'm in Maryland sitting around in the backyard and it was kind of relating that shot back there we recorded a lot of my backyard and. You can have your new record The cover photo and now one is also kind of iconic in introducing another piece but in a different way if you are on the stand surrounded by a very organized bunch of debris looks like that was my wife's idea originally we're going to court cover shoot the photographer who took it his name is Morgan mask. He's a really well known surfer talker for now it's always a balance between bringing those issues into the music and into the you know things like a cover shot I don't want to beat people over the head with it but I thought like that was a nice combination where you look at it for a minute just beautiful colors all around my body on this thing and. It takes a 2nd to zoom in and look and realize there are little things that we have in our lives too precious little bits of plastic around me that will come out of the ocean . That's been sealed off from you know all the stuff was collected within 100 feet right there it took 5 minutes to bring all that the only reason the beach was clean very worst because we went after the tide was going down it was going over time and we're going to put out a video I think in a couple weeks actually of a time lapse of that shot being made we found a spot where there's no plastic but if we were to zoom out look around on the shore of any beach and why it's just plastic like crazy I feel like growing up there and stepping over the high tide line as a kid and then watching the increase in the amount of plastic that's out there now I feel like I have to kind of tell the story how do you deal with the tension between wanting to motivate and inspire and make a difference and knowing you to do it entertain the balance of it for me is making sure that it's. There's a place for people at our shows and there's a conversation that can be had if people want to engage in a conversation but it's not forced on them so we have a place we call the village green and that's where we have all the non-profitable from that town so we try to find this balance where it's there for people who want to. But it's not always coming from the stage it makes it into a song naturally then I'm happy to sing that song sure but I find there's 2 different types of songs that have environmental issues for me there's ones that I'll sing in elementary school cafeterias they're like single use plastic fantastic we use it for a minute or 2 and then if it's around for a few 1000 years maybe even more washes up on the show or just bring your own bags to the store there's no need to be such a fancy pants put down the plastic water bottle give the kids a chance or the next generation is grow when we've got to be know with it will consume me and we've got to be doing it well we can do to reduce our weight and that's what I call playing cafeteria. Over there like the like t.f. You know we do cynical here less than general you there's no I don't think that maybe you know it also feels a little bit like a p.s.a. I mean I use that term in a good sense but there's also their version of it that I don't want the songs to feel like a public service announcement right so the other kind that I feel are even more important are things like I have a song called Only the ocean for me is about visiting my dad who's not here anymore but when I go on the ocean I feel his presence is where he spent a lot of time and it's about falling in love with the ocean and if I could remind people of that connection they have with the ocean and it helps to make people fall in love with the ocean or nature in general that people protect the things that they love so in a way that's a different kind of environmental song to me is just reminding people how sacred these things are key to do you will see the town she rejects you know your dad of course was a really good surfer and now you know just sharing a thing with your dad being a surfer live in a new ocean and being connected in energy. If you're talking about plastic guns washing up on the shore you're involved with a film called swag of the city had a project come about it was through those nonprofits there was one in particular 5 great group where I love about them and there just was straightforward science there going out and doing the data collection finding out how much plastic is actually in the ocean so they go out with these trolls basically and they drag next to the boat and I got to go on the trip with those guys and it was something we were already doing working on trying to eliminate that single use plastic but it really made me more passionate after doing that trip and seeing the reality even when you're out there on the blueish Lewis ocean you know days out to sea where you couldn't land anywhere for days in the ocean with a couple mile deep and it was the bluest Lou I've ever seen and we put the thing in and we'd wait for an hour and we'd say there's no way we haven't seen one piece of plastic of the way every time we pour in there be a handful of micro plastics in there you know so it's just very widely dispersed hence the name of the documentary smog of the city is depressed you know that was to learn a lot of these facts it was also very encouraging to keep working on these things that were going to show us. You you do have the ability to kind of connect the dots in ways very few people do so I think it's really cool that a congratulations on your success and be a factory able to values in and introduce those into your community in ways that are meaningful and you know you're not preaching you're not Golding you're inviting people to discover these things you're discovering and it's a delicate balance not a lot of people can pull that out pretty well look for ways to improve or what we're doing you guys are amazing I got to do the tour of the solar panels over the whole thing here and the whole chapters are amazing work you try and I want to mention one more thing before we go back to music I think you're one of the only people we've had on the show recently who has ever played on a Saturday Night Live show that was hosted by Donald Trump. Trying to use data. Somewhere on my phone only I can show you a picture of me giving dollar Trump on your. Really it's the you know the every fastener and I snuck up again but here's. Somebody tell me how I got out of your time. I appreciate you stopping by I know you can play anywhere in the world a druggie crowd really appreciate your coming sudden by you down again congratulations on the new record do you know bunch of new songs and then here you are you know still writing still play and still touring so thank you graduations on the news and 5 years as notably Let's get back to me welcome back if you would Jack Johnson. Change lanes. And I heard them. Down. A long. String down the. Camera. I don't care. I don't care. The glue. To save. Lives. I don't care for. Them before the was. May give me a thought. To think. It will change remains our earth and. We. Don't care. To. Share. In the giving. With the residual stone the sun. Didn't stop. That's Jack Johnson who was. The direct result of the last. One with Jackie on the keyboards in Kabul last year on the base out in Tokyo on the drums percussion you guys are going to be back to play a lot more music later on in the show. You're visiting a town is made possible in part by the Bohemian foundation building stronger community through the Bohemian qualities of creativity and imagination on the web at the Humean foundation Dato our team by sale group providing communication infrastructure services for the world's leading businesses with its fiber network that powers the voice data and field traffic we depend on every day you can learn more at seo dot com that z.a.y.n.

Affiliates community stations college and commercial stations as well as our international stations and podcast subscribers worldwide You're listening to the tell. The few. If. I'm the chorus or you're listening to the town Jack Johnson could be back later on in the show and coming up we've got the weather station great songwriter from Canada can be up in just a little while before we get back. Committal you know every week we get a chance to learn about people who don't pirate others or people who are doing things often remarkable things in their hometowns to make things a little better we've been doing the service we started and a little good news goes a long way or you know or in our world anyway and I'm sure people appreciate it out there we certainly get impression they do. This week is no exception we've got an opportunity to somebody is really making a difference you can build for students and tell you more. As we all know the data is in climate change is real and it's impacting us in countless ways already unfortunately not everybody except the fact but there are a lot of people who are continuing to make the case and they work hard to educate those who still do not believe there is a problem well our guest this week just for laughs is an award winning filmmaker known for among other accomplishments his work on the powerful documentary called Chasing Ice a multi-year chronicle of our planet's rapidly milking glaciers and recently Japanese team took a look beneath the ocean to produce his latest project chasing Coral a feature film that follows a team of adventurers as they go about documenting the demise of the coral reefs throughout the globe and what the impact of the death of those reefs is on the rest of the environment and just here to tell us more supplies Joining me now in welcoming noted filmmaker and longtime friend Jeff or last. Thank you. Lou. Just for a lucky Welcome to the town Good to have. Fairly often being here thank you congratulations on your success earlier you know Chasing Ice did really well open a lot of eyes to the impact of human activity on the climate on the planet what helps you I can imagine Botha had to kind of turn your attention to the ocean. As it come out at sundown. And then we released the film and we just spent a couple years really supporting the outreach wanting to share the film do q. And A's talk about our story talk about what we saw and it was in that process we met a guy named Richard Veevers background was an advertising really avid passionate scuba diver and photographer and when we met he was just showing me photographs and stories of what was happening beneath the surface stuff that I didn't know anything about you know we worked on shooting ice I thought I knew everything there was to know with all climate change and then meeting Richard and hearing about the ocean story it was like a completely new chapter a lightbulb went off and we do you know you had the psychological challenge where you had time lapse cameras and these impervious can be parked all over the frigid Arctic every corner of the world you started out in the south with a similar endeavor right underwater camera and web cameras Yeah I think one of the challenges with the issue is that it's hard for most people to wrap their head around because climate change is going to really invisible if we're talking about changing molecules in the atmosphere so how do you see the consequences how do you see what that actually means in both projects our teams are really trying to document those changes make them visual How can you actually see the changes happening in the ocean and so we've sort of gotten accustomed to figuring out how to make new camera equipment and design new method for capturing stuff that are happening in ways that people don't normally see you know and like Jack Johnson you started out in a way yeah we saw in the one who are going off to the Great Barrier Reef the Great Barrier Reef is amazing it is magical it is the most well known coral reef on the planet for good reason it's the length of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States and it's just miles and miles and miles of coral the coral is a living animal that has plants living inside of him that feed it and the byproduct of that makes a rock grows over time and it can do it at such a massive scale it makes the homes for millions of creatures that live in the ocean on a coral reef all dependent on. Tiny tiny little animal with plants living in and there's a wide variety of girls like all the different shapes different sizes different colors and they're found in different parts of the planet you know and usually forms these things are going to grow you know there's an interesting relationship between that animal and that plant if the water gets too hot that relationship breaks down and effectively the animal sort of eject the plant that's feeding it then looks white because you can see through it's transparent tissue and you can see the white skeleton the calcium carbonate skeleton underneath it so the sides of which is a little coral reef is made yeah it's made That's the rock that it's making over time of the growth so people call it bleaching it can be confusing sometimes nobody's going there pouring Clorox on the corals but they turn white as a result of that and if it is the water stays too hot for too long and the corals will actually die due to soon you're losing the down through filmmaker Jeff wealthy talking about you film Chasing coral so this is not just sort of interesting footnote to this process this is a fundamental building block of. Marine ecosystems right yeah this relationship is the backbone for the entire Coral Reef and in many ways a coral reef is the backbone for the ocean about a quarter of all creatures in the oceans and part of their life cycle on the coral reefs and so the really big wake up call we are watching coral bleaching and die now is really scary rate we're talking about half of it has died in the last 2 years and they flee the whole northern section of the reef unprecedented unexpected devastation it doesn't fit any natural cycle it doesn't fit any natural behavior all the scientists that we've met have been extremely alarmed by these changes my big takeaway on this project was the harsh reality of what's happening to reply and it is probably worse than you thought but at the same time the solutions in the technology are far better than most people. I think and for me it's been an interesting pull in 2 directions of seeing the planet like literally falling apart but on the other side of the coin there are such amazing advances in clean energy in clean technology there's a shift in mindset to get it this movement is unstoppable and it's going to keep moving and it's depending on all of us to take part in that solution you know what's the Web site you want to go the website is Jason Carroll dot com the phone the streaming on Netflix one of the big things that we're doing in partnership with Netflix is making the film available for community groups so you can go to the Web site and you can sign up for a screening you can host a screening even if it's just a small group in your house or it's a larger community or if it's cool all the school screenings Afridi's are accessible somebody was nice enough logon to be able to stream and it's great just thank you so much for stopping by to congratulate them on the portal story and thank you for thank you really love.

Jacqui Well if you 2 can call and we've got more music from Jack Johnson and his band coming up in a little while right now I would like to tell you about what's coming up next it seems somehow fitting that we've gone from the health of the ocean climate change global warming to the weather state. But that's for sure you really do but the music our next guests like Jack Johnson grew up riding a board very fast fighting gravity only her chosen sport was snowboarding not surfing and also like Jack Johnson she has spent much of her adult life and even earlier involved with filmmaking only She's been an award winning actor she's got tons of television movie credits She's also a musician who moved to Toronto and then found a great community there that's really helped her grow as an artist and writer and yes sometimes reminds me of other famous Canadian singer songwriters and we'll let you figure that out later we're very happy to have her with us please welcome to town for her 1st visit Tamar Lindemann the weather is. Loose. Again. During the use of a. Line. Into the crash. There Emira. Thank you for your Hey did you start out inquires did I get that right yes and no and then you got a a break early on getting into musical theatre Yes exactly yes I was I always sang and I actually wrote songs that I I don't have any recording of I wish I did but yeah then I got into music. You know when you were called 1111. And I amazed by just the list of credits t.v. Shows and films you know a lot of stuff and you still do that no more. So tell me about moving to Toronto when you got there was there a vibrant and welcoming music. When you decided that that's what you're going to do yeah I was lucky enough to try No I think in 201-320-0320 extension 04 was. Trying to learn music through the Arcade Fire Broken Social Scene all the fans and many others there was a very open like anyone can be in a band just go by music and started playing and fans to you don't remember any of those really when you were a little kid I was do you think it was the same stuff because you have this lovely narrative style that's not too concerned with rhyming you're just you're They're like little short stories lovely really good writing is that always been the way you sort of conceived No actually when I 1st started writing songs I didn't know how to play guitar and I was writing songs on my computer I had like a music recording software and I was like looping sounds and making sounds and sort of playing things and then I start over top Yeah and then a few years later I got rid of the computer and started writing songs with a guitar and that's when I kind of hit on the narrative songwriting and using words because I just I love words and I mean words and I love singing words that I haven't heard in a song before you know and just seeing how many things I can put in song set I've never heard there's lots of telephoning in your songs that are interesting. People calling each other up yes. And I'm sure it'll all be texting a lot of you talk to you doesn't download for the. Let me let me ask you. The weather station is that a name that just came naturally to you I can't help but notice that we've got. Our mutual friend. We've got the doll screen who's colored we've got. Bison all kinds of people seem to have names that are their names even if they're one person. I think I have to bring that on Tron circa 2005 years when I 1st started playing music and recording music and I had my My Space page and I was going to put my music up I'm on My Space page I don't know anyone who has their name like to use your name was like the super bogus like just not cool for me to do so everyone had these monitors and so I did too and now of course we're all like why do we just use our names but you know it is going to back it is that I still consider the noise and it's strangely consistent with our theme this week so we get it yeah yeah well I'm glad you're here I'm really enjoying your songs get back to music Ok great welcome back if you would the weather station Tamra.
