Human transportation is less than 35% of transportation pollution - most of it is moving _stuff_, usually cheap junk between factories. Not food or even finished products.
Your electricity usage doesn't go to people. Residential electricity use is ~20%. It's not your air conditioner.
Meat doesn't even enter into calculations. While it consumes biomass, changes to feed easily offset it's greenhouse gas output.
And, as the above shows, it's not people living their lives that causes global warming. It's not people in their homes or going on vacation or even leaving the tap running or the AC on a bit much.
You could, as a person, do all of the things and convince your neighbors to do them to.. and you would change almost nothing.
Stop buying junk, buy less, and push the commercial and office sectors to fix their behavior. Stop sending entire planes to move a 2 or 3 people.
