People can spend effort doing that sort of thing, but in the long run people act in a way that makes these efforts die out. Consider that, as people stop demanding something the price goes down, and those who were unwilling to use that thing thanks to price now get to use more.

It takes a major cultural shift where everyone agrees to do something at once in order to make an impact, and unless the change is fundamentally better than the previous way of doing things than that shift isn't going to happen.

We can do everything, but that just isn't feasible.
