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 building of a tunnel terrifies me. All of the damage done to the Straits, lives taken; fish , turtles, water birds, plants, micro organisms all in the name of money, big business and the Canadian government’s (NOT the people of Canada) commitment to oil extraction.

    Oil lines and tunnels are targets for terrorists and a mistake as we continue to become a greater enemy to the world.

    It’s way past time for us to start respecting the science of global warming. And it’s also way past time for us to be selling natural resources to a Canadian company that has eve less respect for the planet. The dirty oil they’re pushing through our country is not even for American consumption – as if that would make it okay.

    We’ve missed the boat on achieving any goals of reducing harm to our planet. Does it make sense to just burn it all up? I think not.

    Stop polluting the air, water and land. Move to clean energy and stop a tunnel that will cause further disasters of climate change.

    It’s long overdue to shut this pipeline down. An oil spill would be devastating to one of the largest areas of fresh water in the world. We have been commissioned to take care of this planet. Shut down this pipeline now and no more discussion of a tunnel in the Great Lakes. Fresh water can’t be replaced!
