The scene is set in the spacious conference room of the Summit County Admin Building. Karen stands confidently at the front, presenting her eco-friendly tourism initiative to the stern-faced members of the Summit County Council. The atmosphere is tense, with a hint of skepticism in the air.
Karen: (with conviction) Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that our eco-friendly tourism initiative will not only preserve the natural beauty of our parks but also attract a new wave of conscientious tourists. This is an opportunity to showcase Summit County as a sustainable and forward-thinking destination.
Council Member 1: (raising an eyebrow) And how exactly do you plan to ensure this doesn't negatively impact our local businesses, Ms. Townsend?
