What does LOTUC mean?
LOTUC is a simple acronym for the Law Of The Unintended Consequence which serves as a reminder to challenge previously perceived wisdom, to look beyond the superficial and to be wary of complacency.
Why the LOTUC Bee?
The humble worker bee is an apt logo for LOTUC. It strives with industry, with purpose and in concert with others to support its colony, to the benefit of a wider ecosystem. The vulnerability of the bee in turn reminds us of the fragility of the natural world.
