Event Description:

The Metropolitan Atlanta Alumni Association of Phi Beta Kappa invites you to our monthly "PBK Members' Mingle" event for May.

Join your fellow PBK members for a free Atlanta Science Tavern event at Manuel's Tavern. Tanjuria Willis will be giving a talk, “Are My Clothes Killing Me? The Battle between Fast and Slow Fashion.” The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to global warming, creating greenhouse gas emissions that exceed both aviation and shipping. Textile pollution is the #2 pollutant to the landfill (right behind oil). The discussion will explore the difference between fast and slow fashion as well as solutions on what we can do differently.

The featured speaker, Tanjuria Willis, is the founder and creative force behind Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week (ATSFW), and owner of eKlozet Luxury Consignment Boutique.
