We are proud to support the National Wildlife Federation by donating a significant portion of our profit from the sale of the Litter-Robots in the month of July to help the wildlife impacted by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Share your thoughts with other pet fans about what they can do to help wildlife that has been impacted by this disaster. We encourage pet owners to speak up for wildlife, share your ideas and donate to your favorite environmental group. Every little bit helps!

Celebrate Earth Day 2010 and enter to win a FREE ECO Unit Litter-Robot^TM made from 100% recycled plastics!

Earth Day was founded in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson (1916-2005), a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin.  At the time (and of course, still today) there was growing concern about population growth and its effect on the environment and April 22^nd was chosen as the day to celebrate the Earth and the environment.

Here at Automated Pet Care Products, Inc., we build our products in Juneau, Wisconsin, USA (county seat of Dodge county).  Building and buying locally helps to reduce carbon emissions from costly transportation from overseas – not to mention keeping jobs here in the USA.  Using recycled materials and designing products for longevity and repair are also big steps toward reducing environmental impact.

To celebrate Earth Day we are giving away a FREE ECO Unit Litter-Robot^TM.   Simply write a paragraph or two (by commenting on this article) on how you and your pet are trying to reduce environmental impact.  Or, if you have any tips or advice on how to be more ‘green’ with your pet, that would be great too.

The winner will be randomly selected from all the comments.  Only pertinent comments will be considered for the drawing.  Make sure to use a valid email address so we can contact you.   Deadline for all comments will be June 1, 2010.  The winner will be announced on this blog (www.litter-robot.com/blog) by June 8, 2010.
