Naturally, the environmental club of TAMS, is dedicated to promoting environmental awareness, encouraging sustainability, and cultivating a love for the outdoors within the TAMS community and the surrounding area. We host fun campouts, run the TAMS Garden, Recycling and Bike Share programs, and volunteer with external organizations such as the Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center and Keep Denton Beautiful in order to achieve our mission of sustainability and environmentalism.

Committees[edit | edit source]

In 2017, Naturally removed several exec position and added committees to fulfill their role.

Bike Share[edit | edit source]

In Bike Share we fix the bikes, be the test dummies for the said fixed bikes, and listen to some good tunes. It is an easy way to get volunteer hours as well as gain some practical knowledge on fixing bikes, and it’s a TON of FUN! We meet once a week for about an hour, so it doesn’t take too much of your time.
