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, 71-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.

    Oil pipelines are degrading to our water ways, what good is oil if we do not have clean water, it is the most precious resource, most important to sustaining life and protecting it should take priority over the pocketbooks of oil ceos

    Enbridge has no commitment to safety r best interests of public ….The pipeline in unsafe and old. It’s damaged. It cannot tale flow. The surface is damaged and covered by mussels.

    Responsible stewardship of these ancient lakes, protection of fresh water supplies to a climate refuge area, and all of the spiritual, pleasurable and economic benefits of the Great Lakes are my reasons to DEMAND the shut down and removal of Line 5. Michigan has made great strides in alternative energy. Canadian crude is NOT a priority for our times! The current administration is serving oil barons, not the people!
