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.

    Pipeline 5 needs to be shut down. Do not allow the oil company dig a tunnel for it. They will be digging up the bed of the Starits. And there is no saying what kind of damage they will be doing then. The pipeline 5 needs to be shut down. It is way to old and passed time of running. Please shut it all down. Think of the damage they caused when the Kalamazoo river was contaminated by their oil spill. And how long and the cost of cleaning it up. And if it is in lake Michigan it would be catastrophic !!

    A tunnel beneath the Straits of Mackinac will not protect the many waters that remain vulnerable to a spill along the hundreds of miles that this ageing pipeline spans across state. We need to place the health our people, ecology and economy over the profits of a foreign corporation. Please act to decommission Line 5 as soon as possible.

    We must protect our waters. Enbridge has acted in bad faith.
