On Friday, 14^th December 2012, Òscar Saladié (Director of the DOW/URV Chair of Sustainable Development), travelled to the monastery of Poblet (Conca de Barberà) where he met Llul Torcal, Prior of the monastery. The aim was to discuss environmental issues and about the (little) sustainability of the socio-economic activities.
