Moralizing and guilt-tripping is never going to work. People will dig their heels in harder or completely cut out your message as toxic and abusive (and let's be honest, guilt-tripping is toxic and abusive shit and people who engage in it should be cut out of your life anyway).

Making items more accessible, available, and affordable is going to do more for your cause than turning a bunch of people away from you ever could.
