    It should periodically remind you that building that house was a huge use of resources

    It should also insist you only drive an electric car, but only allow you to charge at the same percentage as the renewable energy mix in your state/province

    it should discipline you for your electricity usage by randomly dimming all the lights, disabling the dryer when you go over your monthly allocation, and insist you bought windows with a too high u factor
