The document discusses a proposed mobile app called Consurge that would track and display a user's electrical consumption in their kitchen. The app would show energy usage in real time, compare usage to past performance, and convert usage data into monetary costs to raise users' awareness of wasting resources. Ethnographic research on cooking behaviors identified needs for more organization, less waste, and tools to reduce consumption that the app aims to address.

Proposal
The application will break down the user’s daily use by day, month, and year
allowing users to track their resource use over time. Users will be aware of how
much money their consumption habits are costing them.
