A group of young New Zealanders have kayaked 100km down the Whanganui River on boats made from plastic bottles to raise awareness of the impact plastic has on the environment.

Kayakers Dan Cullum and Shruthi Vijayakumar believe it’s more important than ever that Kiwis make positive choices about the kinds of products they consume, and said their May expedition was fantastic, with their homemade boats happily surviving the rapids.
