He thinks it's less time consuming and the general consensus <br />was yes, it was shorter. He feels good about completing in under 20 minutes. He made all the <br />modifications discussed and he was asked to look at sustainability and climate change <br />questions. He tried very hard to merge the two and then ended up not touching it.
