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.

    95% of the Canadian oil coming through Line 5 doesn’t benefit Michigan. Why should Michigan suffer all the risks and so little benefit.

    I don’t trust oil companies with our environment, there is too much at stake here; more exactly TWENTY PERCENT of Earth’s freshwater is in the Great Lakes.

    Bobby jo TESSMAN . Every year my family and I go vacation on the Lake Michigan Recreation area. In the last two years since Trump administration the amount of pollution on the beach had become staggering you have to clean a spot to lay in the sand. Mostly old balloons ,plastic bottles and cigarette butts. Please don’t allow oil to penetrate our drinking water and destroy what makes our state great.
