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.

    I am a new Michigan resident, but lifelong visitor. Protecting our Great Lakes should be one of the states top priorities. The environmental impact of building the Enbridge tunnel will have severe consequences to the surrounding communities ands environment on land and in the water. Looking at Enbridge’s track record, I have no faith in their ability to put the environment and its people over their own profits.


    Protect our lake and shut down the line 5 easement.

    Shutting down Line 5 would be a fitting legacy to commemorate your service to the citizens of Michigan. A great act for the environment and the future of our state.

    Keep your promise. Shut down Line 5 and protect the Beautiful Great Lakes by denying Enbridge a tunnel too. You can do it Big Gretch! I believe in you. You can do it!

    Line 5 does not benefit Michigan or the Great Lakes region, yet our clean water is taking all the risk.
