“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Chromatic v Bureaucracy – On the Preservation of Fresh Water and the Eviction of Uninvited Pests (Biological and Bureaucratic)


🕯️ Compost, Consent, and the Collapse of Competence

⟡ A Sovereign Letter of Sanitation, Sustainability, and Social Work Incompetence

IN THE MATTER OF: The Right to Build a Toilet Without Bureaucratic Tantrums

⟡ METADATA

Filed: 27 March 2020
Reference Code: SWANK-TCI-ENV-TOILET
Court File Name: 2020-03-27_SWANK_Letter_TCI_SocialDev_CompostingToilet
Summary: A forensic letter explaining, in painful detail, why composting toilets are not criminal offences and why unannounced visits from petty state actors are neither sustainable nor intellectually valid.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic submitted a detailed and dignified letter to the Department of Social Development in Turks and Caicos Islands after being harassed over the use of composting toilets and the absence of indoor plumbing. The letter explains, with more scientific and legal clarity than most policy textbooks, why dry latrines, Hugelkulter gardens, and eco-conscious parenting are superior to chemical-based institutional nonsense.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That the so-called authorities:

  • Did not read their own Environmental Health Ordinance before issuing complaints.

  • Ignored decades of best practice in ecological sanitation.

  • Showed up to the claimant’s property unannounced, mid-pandemic, like fungal spores of bureaucratic overreach.

  • Failed to understand the concept of education happening outside fluorescent classrooms.

  • Actively obstructed personal and environmental autonomy under the guise of safeguarding.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the absurdity of being reprimanded for sustainable waste management is an anthropological crisis, not a legal one. And because composting toilets are not a safeguarding issue unless your department runs on methane and confusion. The letter is not just a response — it is a masterclass in sovereign environmental literacy and maternal design.

IV. Violations

  • Disrespect for lawful environmental alternatives

  • Procedural opacity and unclear communication

  • Contravention of COVID-19 distancing protocol

  • Ignoring the mother’s role as a registered educational provider

  • Attempted state incursion under the guise of unclear expectations

V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. formally recognises this letter as an act of lawful resistance, scientific brilliance, and velvet ecological logic. We file this entry in recognition of:

  • Environmental knowledge far superior to that of the social work team involved

  • Clear violations of autonomy, process, and respect for home education

  • The continued problem of governmental confusion when confronted by intelligent mothers who compost
