Beginning June 8th and ending on July 10th  a group will walk the Enbridge Pipeline in approximately 20 miles increments from Walworth to Superior.  They are stopping to give in Fort Atkinson and will give a presentation on the pipeline.

Check out their Facebook page.

“Our walk along the Enbridge crude and tar sands pipeline system is to raise awareness about the proposed “Twin” line #66. This new line will follow the existing aging pipeline series, already transporting millions of barrels of toxic crude through the heart of the state daily, and intends to increase flow-through to a staggering 3+ million barrels a day, a volume triple that of Keystone XL!

The expansion of the line requires an additional 200″ right-of-way easement which Enbridge will try to buy or cheat people out of using eminent domain, increasing our potential expose to dangerous, cancer-causing tar sands dilbit and bitumen solvents at even greater levels than they already are.

At various revival locations along the route, we will educate and support not only the landowners directly affected by the expansion, but also the people of Wisconsin as a whole. The solution is not just in stopping this expansion as we fight for our houses, communities and natural areas, but also in empowering citizens to seek out new ways to reduce our use and dependency on fossil fuels and turn us to a renewable energy future, the ultimate solution.

The culmination of the 33 Days on Twin#66 will be a celebration of Renewable Energy Independence Day on July 10th in Superior. You can participate in the walk itself, or as support volunteers along the route or even in your daily routine by taking the Virtual Walk and raising money for our cause.”

A virtual version of the walk has been set up so you can participate and show your solidarity with the walkers by logging the miles you put on as you go about your daily routine. One member has been walking virtually on his iPhone using the preinstalled Health app which is linked directly to his My Mission app and his progress is updated automatically. Easy to join and show your support. http://www.myvirtualmission.com/missions/13096/33-days-on-twin-66?event=223759
