Reconstructionists and Traditionalists

I am curious what other recon groups do in regard to culture.

In CR people have been going on for years that you have to learn a language and you have to be involved in the culture (which includes use of language) but in talking with some Asatru freinds I have to wonder.  Do other recon groups fixate on the 'living culture' as much as CR?  How do other groups approach the concept that there is a living culture that is decendant from the Norse/Germanic peoples, or the Hellenes, or whichever form of recon you are.

A large worldwide disaster looms in the distance, or so experts tell us. Even without factoring in global warming the rate of consumption worldwide is increasing exponentially world wide, and with that greatly pollution and decreasing (all types) resources.  Furthermore, our ecosystems (both macro and micro) are nearing a breaking point due to human ignorance and management.  Add to that soil degradation and increasing water shortages.  All these things threaten to increase every year until we as a species reach a breaking point.  Lets then factor in global warming which threatens to if not destabilize utterly crush modern civilization as we know it (It also happens to synergies with the previously mentioned problems). Even though we are leaving a small ice age the rapid rate of warming is the true threat as the Earth is having a hard time reaching equilibrium. Let us Assume all these threats are indeed imminent and unstoppable for various reasons. Obviously this will have wide spread affects on all levels of society but specifically how do you feel your path and paganism as a whole will be affected by this.
