 > I have been both a scholar of, and participant in, this panoply of 
low-carbon digital experiments. In tracing how my thinking has evolved, 
I seek to provide a self-reflexive assessment of what we might be 
responding to through these practices and what the role of climate 
anxiety is or should be in guiding such efforts. While remaining 
sympathetic to these behavioral shifts, I explore how an emphasis on 
discrete actions could risk misapprehending the material character of 
the digital systems we seek to change, overattributing both 
responsibility and agency to users.
