As River Selkie pointed out in her blog, the common banana is in serious danger of becoming extinct because they have no viable seeds. People have "interfered with them", in the words of a co-worker. The same co-worker revealed that it's possible to obtain seeds for dwarf banana plants, and thereby help ensure a bananaful future.

It occurs to me that, if we were truly serious about saving the banana, all cubicle dwellers everywhere should cooperate and set aside a corner of their workspace for a dwarf banana plant. And then, when the economy collapses for lack of bananas, and civilization falls into ruin, we could step in and save the world with our private supply of the pulpy fruit.

If that works out, we could do the same for the ringtailed lemur. Surely we can save a corner in our cubicles for a lemur or two. We could feed them dwarf bananas.

Arctic wolves, too, are becoming a little sparse. They're too big to fit in the corner, but if we gave them a cubicle of their own, we could feed them banana-fed lemurs.
