embridge is trying to build a tunnel right in between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron to run line 5, a 70 year old pipeline because they were told that they aren’t allowed to continue to run the pipeline through land that belongs to the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. There have already been six major oil spill from embridge pipelines in the Great Lakes region along with countless small spills and leaks. at a time where we have no option but to transition as quickly as possible away from fossil fuels and are seeing fresh water shortages this pipeline is unacceptable and a danger to the Great Lakes and the planet as a whole
