Hi paloula,
According to the carbon footprint index, my footprint is a little bit smaller than the average UK citizen's.
Now! The data I entered could well have been entered by St Patrick (such is my monastic lifestyle) -- no car; infrequent use of buses and trains; one short-haul return flight per year; no burning of oil or gas; an electricity bill of around 500 euros per year; infrequent burning of toast etc -- and I'm just below the average!? Anyway, as you say, Paloula, next to eating grass and walking on a treadmill to generate energy, there is little else I could do to reduce my output. Solar panels are an idea but could prove tricky (see pic of my pad below).
By the way, a similar thread was started on JumbleTown a while back. Please see here:

Anyone else tried these tests? Feedback please.
