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.

    Please put the health of the planet and its citizens over corporate profits. The research is clear: we must stop new oil and gas projects if we are to have a chance of averting complete catastrophe. Please don’t take us in the opposite direction.

    Do not count on ENBRIDGE to do what is right for Michigan Great Lakes. No Oil Spill is worth the few bucks any lease could bring the State of Michigan in lease or royalties.

    The tunnel plan that Gov. Whitmer is considering will both put the great lakes at risk for an unacceptable period of time while it is being constructed and is not what the direction we should be moving towards in the face of climate change and a need to eliminate fossil fuels as an energy source.
