When you break it down most of the emission you are directly responsible for are
1) Energy production from Coal/Gas (household/office Heating, AC, electricity)
2) Road transport.

IMO all this discussion about meat consumption and trinkets from China distracts from the big picture. Which is:
- We need to find a way to get rid of Coal/Gas energy production (i.e. solve the whole issue of Renewables intermitency).
- We need to solve the problem of road transport without ICEs.
The main barrier for those two is policy and funding. It has bugger all to do with consumer behaviour. Which is not to say that we shouldn't all curb individual GHG emissions.
