This really depends on if you’re doing it as a thought exercise or in practice. We run this kit as a workshop often, and anywhere from 1-3hrs is a great amount of time to dive into how to apply it.
At the UnSchool, we ask all our commissioned project clients to allow 20% open source content that we can release to the community. We also use project fees to develop our own initiatives that we can offer for free or low cost. Sustainability knowledge should be accessible to everyone, and we try to open up as much as possible to the global community.
