   notes for the next person in this file:
   - the green is #2d6a4f. don't make it brighter to "pop." it's
     already popping. you just need to look at it longer.
   - no gradients. no glows. no inner shadows. anything that looks
     like it belongs on a 2014 mortgage broker's homepage is wrong.
   - if you find yourself reaching for !important, take a walk.
     then come back and refactor.
   - the rest of this css is fewer lines than your closing docs.
