What is the modern alternative for decentralized, eco friendly money?

I know monero is praised a lot by the people of penguin but that one also requires mining.

Nano has one of the lightest nodes, making it quite eco friendly. And Atto's node can run on a 1 GB VPS (the minimum requirements are here)

It is praised for its anonymity, and it uses an algorithm that purposefully works worse on GPUs and probably ASICS, but don't quote me on that.

A lot of malware bundles miners for it because of it.
