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.

    Leave the land intact for posterity and find a renewable, cleaner fuel source. The Lakes are already in enough danger.

    Water needs to be protected now! Michigan has the responsibility to make sure the largest bodies of fresh water on the planet are safe.

    It is a crime to put fresh water source at risk. There should be other ways to deliver oil. Those, who wants to do this dangerous project, pro,don’t drink water..

    Please protect the beauty of this state from big oil. My grandfather and dad took me fishing on lake Michigan, I took my son’s fishing on lake Michigan, now he takes my grandsons fishing on multiple great lakes. Please protect this family tradition for future generations. I witnessed the destruction their pipeline did in Comstock, please do not allow it to happen to our beautiful great lakes.
