Leaving phone chargers, laptop cords, or electric fans plugged into wall sockets when they aren't actively in use is a passive habit found in almost every room.
Even when turned off or detached from a device, plugged-in electronics continually pull electricity from the wall, known as "vampire power" or standby load. This phantom energy draw accounts for nearly 10% of total household and institutional electricity waste globally. Simply switching off power strips or pulling chargers out of wall outlets when finished stops this invisible power leak instantly.
