Now, Johnson has announced the three winners of his inaugural All at Once Sustainability Award: Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York; Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland; and the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, California.

The All at Once Sustainability Award honors "elite venues who excelled in waste reduction and sustainability measures and made every effort to meet Jack Johnson's Environmental Rider during his 2014 From Here to Now to You Tour across North and South America."

"These venues are raising the bar on waste management, plastic-free initiatives, healthy and local food options, alternative transportation systems and much more. The concert experience is improved exponentially for fans and musicians when venues care enough to make these important changes. I came away from my experience at these venues inspired," says Johnson in a statement.

Johnson's 2014 tour was in support of his 2013 album, From Here to Now to You. The album charted number one on the Billboard 200.
