Things you can do to promote SI

As is known to all, SI was published in 1960 by BIPM. SI has so many benefits as more and more countries/regions adopt. By now everyone in the world uses SI in international communication. However, There are still a few people are not aware of this. They stick to other units (e.g. imperial units) in international communication, which made people from different countries/regions confused. These people only think about themselves, without considering others. Not only does these people bring inconvenience to others, but also what they are doing is equal to turning the clock back, which is useless. From my perspective, these people are just too lazy to accept SI. In fact, SI is not difficult at all. Just use it and promote it, and you can handle it very well. Here are some things you can do to promote SI:

• When engaging in trade, state that you prefer your product or service in the SI because it is the legally preferred system of measurement for trade, according to the Convention of Metre.
• Write to elected officials supporting metric legislation and opposing anti-metric legislation.
• Write to media supporting SI and explaining its benefits
• Write to manufacturers praising them when they use SI products and use SI properly
• Write to manufacturers educating them when they do not use SI appropriately
• When you see misuse of SI, write to the responsible organization
• Metricate your own life (tape measures, thermometers, thermostats, cooking, etc.)
• Discuss the benefits of using SI with others
• Write editorials promoting SI and send them to trade journals in your profession
• Promote SI in any volunteer activities you do
• Volunteer to help the SI organizations in some capacity
• Promote SI among your co-workers
• Buy metric products, even if they cost a bit more
• Volunteer to coach or tutor metric at local science fairs or high schools
• Describe SI units visually instead of converting to other units on request

These are some available ways to get metricized for everyone. After all, most of the people in the world can do this, so SI is used everywhere in the world. These words are only write for the minority. If you think you belongs to the minority, please follow the ways and use SI actively. In addition, everyone have the right to promote SI. That means most people are "forcing" the minority to get metricized, so you do not have any excuse for rejecting SI, and you can do nothing but accept to use SI. Some of the people do not use SI because they think it is hard. In fact they are completely wrong. SI is very simple. If you learn it hard, you will be able to handle it very quickly.

In short, SI is used all over the world. If you are still using other units, please learn and use SI instead. and help most of the people to promote it. Only by using united units (SI units) can we break the barrier of the international communication.
