Enbridge, the company responsible for the worst oil spill in Michigan history, runs a pair of pipelines along the bottom of the Straits of Mackinac just west of the Mackinac Bridge. Each day they pump 540,000 barrels -- nearly 1 million gallons of petroleum per hour -- of petroleum products through the pipelines as they take a shortcut from one part of Canada to another by routing it through our state.



Here’s a map that shows how Line 5 is simply a shortcut through Michigan for Enbridge:

Mike Grunwald at The New York Times: No One Wants to Say ‘Put Down That Burger,’ but We Really Should

Excerpt:
“The basic problem is that we’ve converted half of Earth’s habitable land into agricultural land. We’re destroying and degrading the habitats of other species to grow food for our own.”

“The crux is that if current eating and farming trends continue, the world will clear land equal to at least one and a quarter Indias by 2050. That would be a disaster for the climate and wildlife, dooming carbon-rich and biodiverse ecosystems like the Amazon and Congo rainforests.”

“About a third of the food grown on Earth is lost or tossed before it reaches our mouths, which means a third of the land (as well as the water, fertilizer and other resources) used to grow that food is also wasted.”
