can you imagine that they eventually appear, and it’s not even diplomatic contact, but a rescue mission?
“You guys are absolutely fucked, we’re here on a charity mission to educate and help you maintain your environment and stay alive. Petrol and plastics are bad, you can use xyblorps instead. Xyblorps are actually quite simple to make, here’s someone to help…”
I prefer the zoo theory, they’re letting us figure it out until we can show them we’ve evolved beyond killing each other and making up gods to worship.
I would assume we would just keep ruining the planet, but faster, with weaponized xyblorps, and the aliens would get caught in the crossfire. Our predicament is a symptom of human nature/society. Striving for power and dominance, even in a post-scarcity society. They’d have to remake us, stamp out the traits that bring these conflicts. But then we wouldn’t be us anymore.

oh no. anyway…
There’s some good things… and I’d like to keep those. No need for cultural tabula rasa.
We don’t rescue random anthills though
