Maybe not this decade, but at latest in the 2030s, we (or our children) will look back on our current consumption patterns in utter disgust. For context: I live in a city in East Germany, and there is a tourist attraction called "Trabi Safari" where people can do sightseeing in Trabant cars (the East German model that according to folklore was made from cardboard). Whenever I walk down the street and a line of these cars drives by me, I'm disgusted by the smell of the exhaust and wonder how people could stand to live in a city full of these cars. I imagine that 2040 kids will look back on the 2010s in the same way that I look back on that aspect of the 1980s.
