Of course. His personal carbon footprint includes all kinds of things - like the commercial ventures aimed at the population which includes him - that he has no personal control over. And his ability to counter them with, say, solar power fed back into the grid, is a consequence of political effort on a community scale. And so forth. Admittedly I am simply assuming that the prorated share of all this community carbon emission is a significant footprint - but do you actually doubt that?
