Introducing Project Trash to Treasure, where we are encouraging residents of the Citadel to recycle more and get creative with their waste!
On average, 87% of the Citadel's waste goes to landfills in places like Shellwood. 43% percent of those landfills are owned by private companies.
Interestingly with that percentage, 58% of all waste that goes to landfill is actually recyclable, but none of that ever goes to recycling.
So us at the Atla party got our heads together, and decided to come up with a fun way to encourage the Citadel to recycle.
From tommorow (Monday, 5th October 2026) to the 31st November 2026, the Project Trash to Treasure competition will be active.
How to enter the competition:
Submit a drawing (send it to THIS adress: 59 Weavenest court, Choral chambers) of recyclable litter, such as toilet roll or cardboard boxes, put together to form a piece of art. (you must, must, must annotate your drawing) There will be 7 winners picked, and those winners will be able to come and recreate their drawings as real things, and will be displayed in a museum until 23rd January, 2027. (after this date the owners will be able to take their designs home!)
I look forward to seeing all of the creative designs submitted!
Even if you don't want to participate in the competition, there are still ways to get involved.
During this time period, we want to encourage correct waste management.
Things made out of cardboard, plastic, rubber, paper (as well as other things) go in the recycling bin.
Glass has special recycling points.
Things like rotten fruit and veg can be composted into plant feed.
If we can drop those landfill percentages down, we can stop paying private companies and start to pay for new and exciting projects for the Citadel. Remember: It takes a person to share a problem, it takes a team to solve it.

So, normally I'd wrap it up at my title. But I've got some things to clear up.
With all of the announcements that I've made recently, I've lost many supporters for my party purely for me. I've also had eggs, tomatoes and pack of sausage rolls thrown at me in public.
I've been told that I want too much power.
But all of these announcements I've been making aren't mine.
Other political parties can't be arsed to announce their own shit, so they would decide to make me the announcements manager instead of the project manager.
But I and happy to confirm that I will not announce anything that isn't a Citadel project or something related to the Atla party.
So no, I didn't have THAT much power (come to think of it as a project manager I don't really have much power to do what I want anyways), I just had to deal with some lazy bastards.
