Having a bit of fun with this topic.

Carbon Footprint Calculator

http://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx

One person flying from La to Manzanillo round trip
= 0.38 metric tons (.8 more than the anual average for Kenya).

One person flying from Vancouver to LA to Manzanillo round trip
= 0.68 metric tons

Driving a 1999 NISSAN PATHFINDER 4WD 3.3 liter, Auto from La to Puerto Vallarta = 1220 miles
= 0.78 metric tons

My Carbon Footprint:
House 0.54
Flights 0.00
Car 0.20
Motorbike 0.00
Bus & Rail 0.00
Secondary 5.97
Total = 6.71 metric tons of CO2e

I am almost 3 tons over the global average and I don't travel,
cook, heat, cool or have hot water! The most CO2 intensive thing I
consume is bottles of Tequila (the bottles of which I am saving). Maybe I
should get a barrel of Tequila delivered as a way to offset my CO2
