"Our Toronto chapter is a proud industry supporter of Fashion Takes Action. We will collaborate again on FTA's annual celebration of eco-friendly couture. Begging us to reconsider the choices we make in our day-to-day lives, FTA's fierce devotion to raising awareness is beyond a fad. Rather, it's an integral direction for our earth's future, and we plan to work closely with them on many levels in 2009".
