Anne Pringle, originally of Nelson, B.C. has ventured into the fashion world, and shows one can have a conscience doing so. 

Her ethical enterprise, Local Buttons, employs Haitian workers at three times the average wage to reinvent used clothing into saleable merchandise. Her initiatives have helped Haitians still recovering from the tragic effects of the devastating earthquake in 2010. Her clothing is not yet available locally.
