They also asked about the acronym NIMBY, which I knew because my history teacher last year got very off-topic all the time.
NIMBY. . .as in, "Not in my backyard"?
Yes, exactly as in Not in my backyard.

what does "not in my backyard" have to do with anything?

According to Wikipedia...
Wikipedia wrote: The term (or the derivative Nimbyism) is used pejoratively to describe opposition by residents to a proposal for a new development close to them.
I suppose that this could have something to do with ecology.

It was about alternative energy- constructing windmills, to be exact.

I'm kind of hoping they either change the biomes to desert and deciduous forest, or we get Oceanography.

If oceanography comes in, it would replace DP not ecology. DP is probably switching to lakes and rivers anyway, so it probably won't happen. And since taiga has only had one year, it will stick around.

Oh yeah, sorry I had a blonde moment. Yeah you're right, and I think DP is switching.
