This is a special option put together by RBHS sophomore, Carmen Marr. Last year, she set up a Green Day speaker conference to inspire and learn about environmental issues.  That could not happen this year so she put together this virtual conference of sorts where you can listen to a selection of environmental speakers of your choice.
