Learn About Climate Change Solutions In Avon

AVON, CT — The Avon Free Public Library Saturday is hosting a special program that will take a look at climate change and what folks need to do to make it better.

Called "Choose Your Climate Future," the program is on Saturday, July 8, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m at the library, 281 Country Club Road, Avon.

It will feature David Emberling and Friso Hermans of the Citizens Climate Lobby, a national organization dedicated to climate change awareness and efforts to stave it off.

What is being described as a "fun, interactive program" will feature a climate change simulator in which participants can figure out what they can do to fight off climate change.

Saturday's event will also address the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which also has a comprehensive climate change component in the form of billions of dollars in loans and grants to fund energy infrastructure programs.

While some deny climate change as being a problem or, even, claim the problem doesn't exist, others in the scientific community point to a direct correlation between worldwide weather disasters and rising temperatures, a byproduct of mankind's industrial development.

Still, event organizers claim "there is hope" to stop the scourge.
