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.

    When will predatory kleptocracy cease trying to destroy the Great Lakes , the largest reservoir of fresh water in North America? The water it holds is more valuable than all the polluting mines and crude oil pipelines lining up to despoil it. Once destroyed, that water may be forever unusable to sustain human life. Talk about National Tragedy.

    It’s time to move past outdated oil and gas pipelines especially from companies that have a proven track record of leakage and failure to respond in an urgent manner.

    Wake up people! What is going to take to put the welfare of our earth before the greed of corporate short term profit. It is ludicrous and disgustingly ignorant.

    Speak out against the Trump Administration’s unlawful move to fast track the Line 5 reroute in Wisconsin.

    I don’t believe Enbridge will ever build a tunnel or anything else. I believe they are stalling for time so they don’t need to build anything. Eventually mankind will no longer use fossil fuels. Then they will close the antique Line 5, if it hasn’t ruptured and contaminated the Great Lakes.
