Will 2021 be the year of living sustainably for Europe?

With family in Europe, and having traveled there, my impression is that they already live much more sustainably than we do over here in the States. While traveling, we noticed that we could go a whole day and see only one big pickup truck. Over here they are ubiquitous.
