OSTI ID:7212550

This is a directory of United States activities in appropriate technology--technology that incorporates a concern for maintenance of the ecological balance by increasing the use of renewable resources, extending recycling and diminishing waste, and fostering the resource independence of local areas. The authors survey the field to learn from individuals and groups about the scope of their activities, the legal and technical problems they are facing in moving from idea to application, and their recommendations for federal activity in support of appropriate technology. This directory is, in part, a compilation of the descriptions of activities of the survey respondents. The descriptions of activities are extracted from a survey sent to individuals and groups as part of this project. Opinions on major obstacles to the further development of appropriate technology are noted.
