The Kahnawake Environment Recycling program, established in the 1980s, aims to address environmental concerns such as waste dumping and promote recycling practices. The program has evolved over the years, conducting scientific studies, implementing GIS technology, and focusing on environmental education to raise awareness about sustainable practices. KEPO also enforces laws and policies to remediate damaged sites and protect the natural environment of the community, guided by cultural values and a perspective on the cycles of life.
