Green Bay’s resolution opposes the construction of Enbridge Energy’s Lines 3 and 5 tar sands oil pipelines, citing environmental and cultural risks to the Great Lakes region and Indigenous communities. The resolution documents Enbridge’s history of significant oil spills and hazardous incidents, and notes that the pipelines would cross numerous water bodies and sensitive ecosystems. The document emphasizes that these projects would disproportionately affect Indigenous peoples whose treaty rights depend on these waters, with 17 tribal governments opposing the pipelines and state officials rejecting the projects. The resolution frames pipeline expansion as incompatible with the community’s clean energy goals and international climate commitments.
