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.

    Our Great Lakes are not only natural treasures, they are the star of our tourism industry. Economically we need them. Our state would lose so much if these lakes were harmed. Think of Petoskey, Harbor Springs, TC, Mackinac Island, Drummond Island, Sleep Bear Dunes…

    Water is life. The threat to water and life that this tunnel would present must not be allowed.

    A tunnel to extend the lifetime of a pipeline transporting crude through lakes is an UNnecessary expense for a product that is no longer needed. The risk is so much greater than the benefit, I don’t understand why there might even be a profit margin.

    Please save our beautiful Lake Michigan.

    Line 5 Pipeline is the worst idea in a Generation. Actually worst idea of a Lifetime in our Great Lakes area.
