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.

    SHUT DOWN LINE 5 NOW! DO NOT ALLOW ENBRIDGE TO DRILL UNDER THE STRAITS OF MACKINAC! I AM EMPHATICALLY OPPOSED TO DANGEROUSLY DRILLING UNDER THE GREAT LAKES.


    IF ENBRIDGE CARED ABOUT SAFETY, PEOPLE & THE ENVIRONMENT IT WOULD BE MAKE CLEAN, CHEAPER & INFINITELY SAFER SOLAR PANELS.


    STOP PATRONIZING OUR STUPID PRESIDENT TRUMPTY DUMPTY!! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND DO WHAT’S RIGHT!

    Please pay attention to the science on this. Our Great Lakes are a multifaceted biological and geological features that is also a huge financial asset to the people in this state. The tunnel puts the whole system at risk and has been determined by scientific research Pay attention and improve your legacy with Michigan by honoring this rejection of the tunnel. .

    Please don’t jeopardize one of Michigans irreplaceable water resource. Oil is going to be phased out. Our lakes are already under threat by invasives, fertilizers, oil spills, many by Enron. Please protect our lakes. , say no to Enron. I am begging you.

    What does it take for decision makers to stop projects that harm people and the environment. Enbridge Line 5 has already spilled 33 times and 1.1 million gallons! What does that tell you? This pipe line tunnel is dangerous to the Lakes, the people who live near the Lakes, and the environment.

    We can’t take the risk of rupture. 33 leaks is enough but in the straits it threatens all the lakes. We can live without oil but not without water.
