No More Gas For Sheboygan Man
Walking & Biking In Protest Of High Gas Prices
|
|
Brian LaFave of Sheboygan could care less how high gasoline prices go these days.
He's parked his pickup truck and is buying no gas for 31 days and possibly longer. He says it's his personal stand against the oil companies.
That means the 31-year-old LaFave is riding his bicycle or walking everywhere he goes.
He won't even let friends pick him up unless they were already going to be in the neighborhood.
He started the effort May 11th. It requires that he bike to his third-shift job at Aldrich Chemical in Sheboygan Falls. That's a 9-mile commute from his Sheboygan apartment.
He's using a comprehensive chart to track how many miles he bikes, the destination and the gas price.
He plans to compute his savings and donate that amount to a charity that provides food to children in Africa.
