Biochar is carbon negative! I have outdoor fires from time to time for both pleasure and cleanup of oddball sticks. By utilizing that time and material to turn some of the combustibles into biochar I can sequester away some of that carbon while also benefiting my soil. It also persists in the soil in a positive way!

It cost me 500€,
I mean I wanted to at least neutralize my footprint a little and help the planet.

This sounds like a carbon offsetting scheme. You pay your money, someone goes planting trees or something - to bury carbon. While you continue polluting...
The science says there's too much CO2 in the atmosphere, so we need to bury it and NOT create more. So everyone suggesting ways to cut their emissions are on the right track.
Basically, it comes down to philosophies:
*Share - tools, houses, vehicles, public facilities, natural resources
*Care - for people, nature, everything you or others value
*Link - let every action satisfy more than one purpose if you can
*Enjoy - what comes your way, rather than striving for the hard to get (unless you love hard work and banging your head against brick walls). Why take a handsome salary that requires you so spend half of it commuting, eating into home-time, and producing CO2 and other pollutants? We have brains to work out how to make the best of our situations.
This really sums up all the contributions that were made by the previous replies. I think a lot of things were covered in this forum, at least the most important ones. One thing that is important to mention as well is the fact that the "carbon footprint", at least in the individual level, is a term that does not make much sense. It was crated by an oil company to deviate our attention from the actually huge damage that multinational companies create and governments support. Although we can, and should, strive as individuals to have a lesser impact on the planet, the most impactful changes can be made by these huge entities, and should not be just thrown on consumers to make them feel guilty. I know of a climate scientist on youtube who explains this (and more) in a very fun and accessible way. On this specific topic, you should watch this video of his: https://youtu.be/1J9LOqiXdpE?si=dnuVl9ltZZPs90Ac
If you like his crazyness like I do, you're free to explore his channel further. If not, I also recommend many other awesome youtube creators who are scientist that give their own advices and information, like the channel "Not just bikes", "Our Changing Climate", "Sabine Hossenfelder", "ClimateAdam", etc. (there are the names that come right to my head, but there are many others).
Good luck on your journey and don't be too hard on yourself, fellow earthling!
