To answer the question directly by typing out all the little choices I make, I'd probably be still typing tomorrow morning. The problem is that I'm quite certain that my emissions still above half anyone else's (where 1/10th would be sustainable, so "not even 1/2"...), since I also try not to live like a hermit despite caring a lot. Basically you could say I'm doing nothing effective... :/
The biggest thing I'm doing at the moment is thinking how to improve this. My next career move should be to a company that reduces CO2 emissions. As a last resort, I'd invest some capital in a startup that does what I can't (I'm not a physicist or chemist that can make methane-free cows or work on GMO crops or improve solar panels' efficiency).
The company I currently work for is very small and we don't have any processes that are a significant contributor to global warming (we hardly travel, don't construct buildings, use considerable amounts of steel, those sorts of things), and my colleagues are already doing more than what one can expect from the average person anyway (both in business and privately) so not much influence I can have there. As a security consultancy, it's also not as if we've got the expertise to help other companies reduce theirs. I'm not sure this is what I want to do forever because while it doesn't hurt, it doesn't really help either.
Suggestions here would be very welcome if anyone else struggled with this kind of life choice.
