Calling garden watering 'non-essential' shows a flawed algorithm. Data from smart meters should inform better resource management, not punish sustainable practices. For example, utilities could tier pricing based on overall household efficiency, not just raw usage. Carla's vegetable patch reduces food miles and packaging waste, which aligns with broader environmental goals. Penalizing that while ignoring wasteful indoor usage misses the point. The system needs to value outcomes, not just inputs.
