Whether or not general relativity is truly fundamental, at low energies it is automatically described as a quantum effective field theory and this allows a consistent framework for quantum gravity at ordinary energies. I briefly describe the nature and limits of the technique.9 pages, Latex, talk presented at Journees Relativistes 96, Ascona, Switzerland, May 1996. To be published in Helv. Phys.
