AG Nessel Marks Earth Day LANSING - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is reflecting on the important work done by her Environment, Natural Resources & Agriculture (ENRA) Division as Earth Day brings added focus on ways to protect the planet and our natural resources.
"Each Earth Day we must take pause and reflect on the role we all play in protecting our environment," Nessel said. "Our natural resources remain some of the most precious aspects of this state, and as long as I'm Michigan Attorney General, I will fight to protect them. I am proud of the work done by the dedicated public servants in our ENRA Division. Their dedication to defending Michigan's resources extends well beyond April 22 every year."
Recent and ongoing cases focused on protecting the environment include:
- Enbridge: AG Nessel is continuing her fight to shut down the Line 5 oil pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac that pose a grave threat to Michigan's environment and economy. This includes moving to get her lawsuit, Nessel v. Enbridge Energy, back to state court where it belongs, and to dismiss Enbridge's lawsuit challenging Governor Whitmer's revocation and termination of the 1953 Easement that Enbridge depends on.
