This week, we spoke with Tanjuria Willis, founder of Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week. According to their website, "Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week (ATLSFW) was created to bridge the gap between consumers and sustainable fashion brands with the goal of building a zero carbon emissions footprint."

The event provides three goals:

• Education to teach consumers about sustainable clothing and how their textile choices affect their lives.
• Awareness of sustainable brands to consumers and buyers, and
• Accessibility to shop and purchase sustainable clothing and other sustainable products.
