Recycling also has its space to highlight a very important aspect in the reduction of CO2 through the cooperation of individuals and companies and news that, in general, we believe should be known by our readers. In another of the pages we mention some news that we consider important at a cultural level but that has no relation with the world of glass, since we consider that we should be supportive in relation to some cultural event that occurs and deserves to be cited. On the page "How it is done" we try to reproduce images of the techniques practiced by some of the artists mentioned in the section of consecrated and novice. And all the above can be summarized in our interest to disseminate in general the culture of glass and its artistic aspect in particular.
In another order of things, we have requested a meeting with the new Councilor for Culture of our City Council, Sonia López Cadena, to share our concern about the current situation of the exhibition space of our Museum, the lack of knowledge of its existence on the part of the most of the population of Alcorcón and for what we consider as a lack of respect of the Museum Director for the functions that should be exercised by our Honorary President, Artistic Advisor and promoter of the MAVA, Javier Gómez. I wish you a happy summer.
