Short Talk 264 (Listen and Read)

Welcome to the annual Green Valley Environmental Conference.

It's impressive that so many of you made it despite the weather challenges.

I am pleased to announce that we have a special guest with us tonight, Professor Samuel Rivera.

I'm sure you've heard of him.

Professor Rivera was the first ecologist to establish a sustainability project in Green Valley.

He was also our association's first recipient of the Environmental Excellence Award.

He created our program to promote eco-friendly urban planning.

Tonight, he will provide us with an update on his ongoing efforts to reduce carbon footprints through community-driven initiatives.

Now, without further ado, let's welcome Professor Rivera to the stage.
