Avon Hosting Plastic Ocean Pollution Forum

AVON, CT — A program on the scourge of plastics pollution will take place Monday at the Avon Free Public Library.

The event will take place at 2 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 30, at the library, which is located at 281 Country Club Road, Avon.

"Do you know where plastic comes from? Nearly 80% of marine debris comes from land-based sources," wrote the library in an event announcement.

Guests will be able to learn about how plastic affects the ocean, marine environment, and animals.

A representative from The North American Marine Environment Protection Association will host the program.
