Why not us be the protectors, to whom have no tongues but do wish to live in harmony with us? Chromium on Dead Trees in publishing is old hat in our new 21st Century digital age of everything from print to video. In the Supreme Court, it was argued, in a famous dissent to Sierra Club v. Morton, that trees and other natural resources should have legal rights. Soon after, with the Clean Water Act of 1972 and CERCLA of 1980, Congress finally granted legal rights to natural resources —albeit in different language from the plainspoken Lorax. Under this pretext of law, we may sue for damages but instead, we are petitioning mainstream media to save the trees and go straight out digital under the "natural resource damages" provisions of these laws, entities can sue for compensation for injury to natural resources—on behalf of those resources. In doing so, they are acting as "trustees" for natural resources, not suing in their own right as themselves and the law requires that all recoveries be spent on the resource itself; it cannot spend natural resource damages, on anything except as a or on behalf of that resource for that resource. We just wish to make a statement to Print Media to stop in their using Chromium on Dead Trees in publishing their magazines!
