The club formerly known as....
B.E.E.R.
Boeing Employees for
Environmental Responsibility
This was the original name for the club and perhaps expressed the goal of promoting personal responsibility for our environmental impact a little better,
but the name BEER, although catchy, was thought to be too controversial so BEES was used instead.
However, there was still some debate over whether the S should stand for Sustainability or Stewardship. It was decided to go with Stewardship
since it also implies more personal ownership of our actions than Sustainability.
