To honor what would have been her 96th birthday, here's one of my favorite Ursula K. Le Guin works, a 1983 commencement address at Mill's College during which she tells the graduates she hopes they won't be successful.

Our ghoulish seizer hasn't just crossed the Rubicon, he's pissed in its riverbed and grabbed it by the delta.
He's currently stuffing a blockchain down its river mouth while screaming incoherently about "Purity of Essence" and our "Precious Bodily Fluids."

Stop calling it a “constitutional crisis!”
They’re callously destroying the social fabric that holds us together.

Contact From Iarga (1969) is a UFO contactee account that focuses on environmentalism, rather than the danger of nukes.
Is anyone aware of earlier contactee accounts that focus on environmentalism?
