Prompt MotionCC0 1.0 Universal
Create a self-contained SVG motion graphic in a single HTML file.

ART DIRECTION
Place a large lime (#c9f269) counter on a forest (#172e2b) artboard. Count between 0 and 2,840 using a sine-driven cubic ease-out, with thousands separators. Add THE NUMBERS TELL A STORY. above and ideas brought to life below. Separate the footer with a fine rule. Explicitly label the number ILLUSTRATIVE DATA.

TECHNICAL RULES
- Use a 960 × 600 viewBox (8:5). Scale responsively without cropping.
- The loop lasts exactly 6 seconds. Use deterministic, time-based drawing with requestAnimationFrame; do not accumulate frame deltas.
- Keep all shapes and text inside the safe area. Use system sans-serif fonts and no external assets, libraries, or network requests.
- Use a static representative frame when prefers-reduced-motion is enabled, and include a visible play/pause control.
- Pause when the document is hidden.
- Return the complete HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with no omitted sections.
