I infer there are still countries that don't have switches on sockets? It would be good on safety and environmental grounds if, say, the UN had a campaign to educate the governments of the undeveloped nations.

Many electrical appliances draw electricity even when they’re turned off. Here’s the euro solution: Every electrical socket in my flat here in the UK has an on/off switch. Imagine how much energy we could save if we cut off the electricity to every socket not in use.
