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 Amazon Rain Forest is nicknamed the worlds lungs because it is thought to provide 20% of the worlds oxygen. In comparison the Great Lakes hold 21% of the worlds fresh water. I just wanted to bring a little prospective to what is at stake when line 5 spills millions of gallons of oil into our most precious resource.

    Shut it down! The Kalamazoo River is already destroyed by you, Enbridge. People died in Kentucky thanks to you, Enbridge. You are not good for Michigan or The Great Lakes!

    I was born and raised in Michigan. And I have sailed her Great Lakes my whole life. Line 5 needs to go before it destroys the Lakes. We have a responsibility to protect this water, not only for those if us that live there, but for the world.
