Many meet at Tatura to hear about sustainability

Nearly 50 people gathered in Tatura’s St Mary’s Hall on April 22 to hear about sustainability from LaTrobe University’s director of the Centre of Sustainable Regional Communities, Professor John Martin.
Prof Martin avoided too much talk about big picture issues and concentrated and matters that people such as those involved with the Tatura Transition group could address.
The April 22 conversation was organized by Tatura Transitions, a relatively small group from the Tatura community that is eager to see the town recognize and prepare itself for the dilemmas it will face through the changes brought on by climate change and peak oil.
Prof Martin, based in Bendigo, was excited by the dialogue created by such meetings as that in Tatura.
He emphasized the importance of doing whatever people can at community level that on the surface may appear of little value, but considered more broadly, it can have a big impact on the town’s resilience.
