Bre Ward, left, and Tess Meyer are cycling the North Island to talk about the damaging effects of plastics. Two lifeguards are cycling from Cape Reinga to Wellington for a better future for New Zealand's coastlines. Tess Meyer, 20, and Bre Ward, 21, both from Wellington, have been cycling the length of the North Island to raise money for environmental charity Sustainable Coastlines. Along the way, Ward and Meyer, both pool lifeguards, have been delivering to schools a Sustainable Coastlines presentation about plastic pollution. Sustainable Coastlines is awesome because they focus on real solutions like educating people about how to refuse plastic and planting native trees alongside rivers," Ward said.
