Those are all good, but if instead of asking "how can I reduce my carbon footprint" you ask "what should my carbon footprint be", I think you'll find the answer

Those are all good, but if instead of asking "how can I reduce my carbon footprint" you ask "what should my carbon footprint be", I think you'll find the answer a bit discouraging. Basically, where I live, just my share of the cost of maintaining basic infrastructure puts me above the limits implied by the Paris accord, nevermind actually moving from place to place, having heating or eating things. Maybe that's why you don't see too much focus on telling people what their personal goals should be - the situation encourages defeatism if you actually try to find a personal solution to the problem. What we need is a wartime economy, geared towards surviving climate change. In my view, that could actually be very good for us - western societies haven't had a concrete goal to unify their citizens for as long as I've been around, at least. And this time, the goal wouldn't revolve around killing people! Now, how do we get started?
