To Save Power, Bangladesh Bans Suits and Ties

To save power, Bangladesh is banning suits and ties for male government employees, including those in the highest levels of government. Men may also wear their shirts untucked. It is expected that this will reduce the need for air conditioning.

Is this an overreaction? A move to more sloppiness in the workplace? Or a sign of the times? What are your thoughts?
