> 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.
