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 live in Kalamazoo and personally know the damage sloppy line maintance by Enbridge caused. They have not submitted proper statements to insure that the Great Lakes will be protected from possible bentonite slurry spills

    We must protect the Great Lakes from potential detrimental disaster. Water is life. These waterways are sacred to tribal communities and essential to the communities connected via these waterways.

    I may not be from Michigan, but this is an issue that roots deeper. All our fresh water is sacred, and especially so in a time of global water bankruptcy and the increasing use of fresh drinkable water to cool machines. Not to fuel the lifeline of our blood as human beings, but to cool non-living, unnecessary machines. The pursuit for great profits is a disgusting one. There is no morality to it, its plain evil in nearly every single instance. This project not only puts the thousands of species who call the great lakes home at risk, but the people who depend on its water for economics, fishing, entertainment, and livelihood. Please, hear the cries of the people. I among many others urge the prevention to construct this oil tunnel.
