SIGN THE PETITION

This is how we make our government accountable to the people. We'll deliver your signature to tell Gov. Whitmer the will of the people is to #ShutDownLine5

Building a tunnel for Enbridge Line 5 through the Straits of Mackinac is not a solution to protect the Great Lakes, 400 other water bodies, including Lake Michigan, or our dangerously overheating climate.

Oil BurnSign to protect the Great Lakes from *another Line 5 oil spill

Dear Gov. Whitmer:

An oil tunnel through the public bottomlands of the Straits of Mackinac won’t protect the Great Lakes from a 645-mile long, 73-year-old Line 5 crude oil pipeline that has leaked at least 33 times into Michigan's environment. Even when its oil isn't spilling into the water, it adds to our climate crisis when burned by spilling carbon into the atmosphere every day. The time to end the threat of a catastrophic oil pipeline rupture is now. Instead of leaving a vulnerable and hazardous oil pipeline operating in the Mackinac Straits for years while trusting a dishonest Enbridge to protect the Great Lakes, I support your action to revoke the Line 5 easement and urge you to prevent an oil tunnel from being constructed.

* Yes, Enbridge Line 5 has already spilled 33 times and 1.1 million gallons.

    I am SO TIRED of big corporations bullying and buying their way into situations that have strong potential and real danger to damage THE most important natural resource that we have. It is time we “JUST SAY NO”. Easy.

    Supporting “no” to discharging wastewater into the Straits of Mackinac. We do not want wastewater discharged into the Great Lakes. An oil spill and wastewater would detrimentally impact Tribal waters and critical ecosystem.

    You know that this pipeline will poison the Great Lakes that you say you love. Shut down this pipeline completely. Do the right thing

    Despite assurances, there is no guarantee to water safety here, and the risk will be fatal for our state and our water.
