This paper was prepared as a background paper for a broader paper, Appropriate Technology in the United States--An Exploratory Study (NSF/RA--770064, also available, GPO). Its purpose was to survey those in the United States currently active in the field of appropriate technology, describe their efforts, explore factors inhibiting the development and application of their innovations, report on their recommendations, and assess the policy implications of appropriate technology in relation to an environmentally and resource-constrained economy. It compiles and analyzes the major ideas of 40 of the 294 respondents in the initial survey. (MCW)
