> I am very sad that many of us who are metric proponents do very little about it. For those of us who want metrication, we need to keep our eye open for little things we can do. There are opportunities each and every day to do something. > > *Talk to your weather guy at your favorite TV or radio station and ask him to begin to include metric unit. Or ask him to begin to do metric only. > > *Buy products which are clearly labeled in metric and which, as often as possible, are hard metric. And once in a while, drop a letter to some compnay expressing your hopes that they will go metric. > > *Talk to your dairy company and the people supplying your dairy products and complain that they continue to use the gallon containers. > > *Suggest to your favorite gas station that they pump in liters. > > *Talk to your favorite politicians. Ask them to expedite metrication at all levels. > > *Find examples of refusal to cooperate with metrication, then make noise about starting a boycott. > > *Work hard to find ways to get media to speak in metric. Right now we have the Olympics,a really good chance to speak out. Speak out and object any time your local or national media folks fail to speak metric about the winter olpimics. > > Andy Johnson > Oh, and it can't hurt to invite friends to join this little yahoo club.
