Graham Scholars Line 5 Documentary and Brochure

Abstract

The Great Lakes (which account for about 20% of the world's surface freshwater) are at risk of pollution from an expired pipeline that runs through the Mackinac Straits. A team of 10 undergraduate Graham Sustainability Scholars and myself, all inspired by last year’s team of scholars who took action against the Dakota Access Pipeline and spread the word about water injustice, have decided to document local perspectives and potential risks involved with this risky pipeline only four hours away from our campus: Enbridge's Line 5. Our hope is to educate our Ann Arbor community about the pipeline and offer tools to take effective action.
