Mission.

provide sanctuary for the monarch butterfly
Happy
Tonics is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) environmental education and
conservation public charity. Our purpose is to promote organic
gardening and open pollination for biodiversity. The organization
is dedicated to teaching about the risks of invasive species
and genetic engineering to the food supply, and their impact
on the environment, other species, indigenous and native crops,
and health.
We
provide educational lectures, films, and CD photo presentations
on the plight of the monarch butterfly and food safety issues.
We offer milkweed seed to promote the planting of native milkweed
in order to provide food for the monarch. Milkweed is the
host plant, and the insect is dependent upon this plant for
its survival.
Volunteer
opportunities: We need volunteers with high tech
skills to help our Web master with listing events on Web site
calendars; maintain an online store and develop a blog. To
