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.

    The pipeline should be denied. It is extremely risky and irresponsible to pipe oil under the Great Lakes. Our water is our future.

    I don’t understand why Gov. Whitmer keeps approving things that compromise the health of the Lake Superior Environment. She needs to bolster Nature > $$$ & pollution. Stop fossil fuel production, stop copper mining, stop trashing natural areas and wildlife!

    Gov. Whitmer,

    Do you even care at all?! I thought you wanted to help MI, not destroy it. And thanks for the Data Center, dreading the day we see how many people that kills in 20 years. Blood is on your hands.
