I review recent numerical and analytical work on the feedback from both low- and high-mass cluster stars into their gaseous environment. The main conclusions are that i) outflow driving appears capable of maintaing the turbulence in parsec-sized clumps and retarding their collapse from the free-fall rate, although there exist regions within molecular clouds, and even some examples of whole clouds, which are not actively forming stars, yet are just as turbulent, so that a more universal turbulence-driving mechanism is needed; ii) outflow-driven turbulence exhibits specific spectral features that can be tested observationally; iii) feedback plays an important role in reducing the SFR; iv) nevertheless, numerical simulations suggest feedback cannot completely prevent a net contracting motion of clouds and clumps. Therefore, an appealing source for driving the turbulence everywhere in GMCs is the accretion from the environment, at all scales. In this case, feedback's most important role may be to prevent a fraction of the gas nearest to newly formed stars from actually reaching them, thus reducing the SFE.
