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 gladly sign this petition . No guarantee can ever be made that it still won’t happen . What is there now is clean and pristine without a splill. Governor Gretchen Whitmer I find it hard to believe that you would pass on these risks to future generations and our children . I think Greta Thunberg should come and pay you a visit and speak to thousands of children on your doorstep .

    Governor Whitmer, please show more backbone on this than you did on auto insurance. It’s even more important.

    We have got to stop killing our oceans and fresh water lakes. People depend on this resource for survival. Not only killing our waterways, they’re killing the life sustained in it to keep it balanced. Please protect our Great Lakes from such a horrible disaster.
