No Oil Tunnel Petition

The Great Lakes is a precious fresh water system, much of it pristine or near pristine in quality. It must be protected at all costs.

1 leak is too many

The Great Lakes are going to be one of the largest source of fresh water for the United States and Canada, especially with increasing climate change. We cannot risk it being contaminated any more than it already is!

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.

It’s critically important that we protect this increasingly important water source. I should know, I’m living in a watershed that is not being protected properly, the Great Salk Lake, & this will be disastrous if not reversed and protected

Don’t let this happen with one of the absolute most important water sources in the western hemisphere & the world

Now is the time to “Fight like hell!”

I strongly oppose Line 5 and hate Enbridge corporation for making it sound like a great idea to build oil rigs here in Michigan. It’s the worst idea ever since the Deepwater BP oil spill and will ruin everything we hold dear about the Great Lakes. Please protect our lakes and everything we enjoy so much about the environment. Thank you

STOP KILLING THE EARTH, THERE IS NO BACK UP PLANET!
