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.

    Gas and oil companies don’t have track records of safety and concerns for the environment, nor for the citizens that end up with destroyed lives and properties resulting form their mistakes and spills. Force them to shut down now.

    The Great Lakes and our water are Michigan’s most valuable resources; we must protect them from ANY possibility of an oil leak, which could destroy our water systems, fish, wildlife, tourism and other businesses. We owe it to future generations.

    Protect the Great Lakes from dirty pipelines and tar sands oil. You should not contaminate an essential resource with filthy fracked oil. Use clean energy which doesn’t poison anyone and gets the job done.

    Your right. We’re just gambling with the GreatLakes. Enbridge needs to figure another way to move there fuels other than in the Strait’s !
