You can't stake 1 eth yourself. You need to at least 32 eth. Plus you need to make an investment to run your own a validator.

Bitcoin mostly reuses wasted energy where there is no other better paying customer. Even if we would stop all Bitcoin mining on the planet, it wouldn't make any difference for this wasted energy, it wouldn't be put to other uses.

Please take the time to watch this podcast about bitcoin and electric grids and power usage:

"The Truth About Bitcoin's Energy with Harry Sudock" https://youtu.be/vSkEgUsgP3E

And one other point: energy usage != pollution

The locked up energy used for mining was never available to populated area's in the first place, it is exces energy. It's a bit like if you compare taking a shower in the middle of the desert with standing under a water fall and telling someone not to waste water while standing there because you consume as much water as 10000 people.
