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.

    Keep fossil fuels out of the world’s largest freshwater supply. We are living in a water BANKRUPTCY. Our children and children’s children and so on all deserve fresh water for drinking and swimming and enjoying. No money is worth what would be given up in return.

    The lakes most be protected from this kind of potential contamination.

    Too risky to trust a monumental polluter . A formula for disaster .

    I’m only a teenager, but I want to keep the Great Lakes around so future generations can enjoy them as I have been. Put earth first instead of money.

    Cover up is not clean up and restore.. Just because it looks cleaner sterile doesn’t make it sustainable. It’ can’t be done. Don’t break what can’t be fixed.

    This is not something we need in the Great Lakes region. They need to run their pipeline through their own country.
