* © 2010 Ruth Anne Robbins. Clinical Professor of Law, Rutgers School of Law–Camden. The article title was printed in Ecofont, see infra n. 46. Thank you to Professor Bob Williams, Rutgers School of Law–Camden, for believing that this topic was worthy of a written product. Substantial thanks for research and calculation support appear in footnote 15, where that wonderful group of people can share all of the glory and none of the shame. My primary thanks go to the two groups that have opened my eyes to the connections between document design and the environment: Sustainable Cherry Hill and the Girl Scout troop that I have had the pleasure of working with. The latter is made up of truly inspirational young leaders who are willing to make speeches at town council and school board meetings, and whose idols include Rachel Carson and Jane Goodall, and who really do seek out environmental issues for school and personal growth projects. To Janna, Rachael, Brooke, Jade, Amanda, Gillian (Jill), Shelby and Sarah—you defy the ordinary!
