Can widgets save the world?

I've become a huge fan of widgets but I had no idea that they had this ability:

Web 2.0 helped save Silicon Valley. Now will widgets help save the world? The environmental movement and its corporate allies hope so. They're tapping Web 2.0's real-time, interactive technologies in an attempt to spawn a national social network for social do-gooding in the campaign to slow global warming. The past week saw the launch of two such efforts: Beat the Heat from the Natural Resources Defense Council and 18seconds from a coalition that includes NRDC, Environmental Defense, Yahoo (YHOO) and Wal-Mart (WMT).

I really recommend reading the full article and visiting the websites listed there, I consider myself a "green leaner" and I learned quite a bit. It's amazing Web 2.0 can do and I'm saying, "go widgets"!.
