The environmental cost is something that mainly applies to bitcoin, Ethereum is moving to Proof of Stake which will reduce energy consumption by a lot. Even other Proof of Work coins use less energy than Bitcoin, Algorand is doing well. Eventually they'll all go down that road so I think it's a bit of a strange bandwagon everyone jumped on criticising crypto when it's still at very early stages.
