Ok.... So given that the OP wants to search for evidence of alien technology, what's that got to do with that technology being "green"?

Are we going to find signs of life before we find signs of technological advancement? So in essence, time really doesn't have anything to do with it, other than as a measure of distance?

Their suggestion is that there is an advantage in 'behaving like nature', such that a sufficiently advance society will, for some reason, progress towards a state where it's technology is indistinguishable from natural systems,

I have a problem with this because I don't necessarily believe that 'behaving like nature' offers any particular advantage at all. Nature is, after all, void of moral judgment and inherently indiscriminate.
