So, what are you trying to say?
"I want you to enjoy your lifestyle, just like i want everyone to, but do it in a way not destructive to our environment and/or too the people of this world that we so often 'appear' to forget about."
That's a very different message than your cartoon is trying to send. The cartoon says that I am like a heroin addict, since I'd like a bigger house, etc. That's a pretty harsh message, especially now that you're saying that it's actually OK to want these things. Maybe toning down your retoric will help your argument - nobody wants to be insulted (assuming that most people think being called a junkie is an insult). Insulting people won't change their minds.
