The fellow behind Zero Carbon Tatura, Terry Court was one of three keynote speakers at last weekend's (August 28) Tatura Transition Towns annual film festival.

Plans had been made to stage the festival in the town's Victory Hall, but as the Covid-19 crisis intervened, it was necessary to stage the festival online.

Mr Court, who is something of a dynamo, and has pulled together a group of volunteers in the hope of guiding the small town toward a zero-carbon emissions position by 2030.
