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 & Michigan’s Legislature:

An oil tunnel through the public bottomlands of the Straits of Mackinac won’t protect the Great Lakes from a 645-mile long aging Line 5 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 to you prevent an oil tunnel from being constructed.

* Yes, Enbridge Line 5 has already spilled 33 times and 1.1 million gallons.

    I grew up in Michigan, and intend to retire in my home state. It is a beautiful, peaceful lace where I enjoy the nature our state is famous for. Please don’t let that oil line take my home and peace from me and my family.

    Our only source of fresh water and it’s just not the place to ruin with an oil pipeline.

    Please shut it down for us and all the generations to come.

    It’s just a money maker for some already rich bitch.

    This tunnel is a boondoggle. It’s not a good deal for anyone—except Unbridle. And, in a world where fossil fuils will continue to diminish in importance, it’s unnecessary.
