Hello

 Reem Faruqi  is the award-winning children’s book author of “Lailah’s Lunchbox,” a book based on her own experiences as a young Muslim girl immigrating to the United States. She’s also the author of “Amira’s Picture Day,” “I Can Help,” “Milloo’s Mind,” “Anisa’s International Day,” and three middle grade novels in verse, “Unsettled,” “Golden Girl,” and “Call Me Adnan,” many of which received starred reviews. After surviving Atlanta traffic and the school drop off, Reem spends her days trying to write, but instead gets distracted easily by her camera and buttery sunlight. Reem Faruqi lives in Atlanta with her husband and daughters. You can find her at www.ReemFaruqi.com or on Instagram or Twitter.

GLMA Sustainability Pledge

Please pledge to commit to making the GLMA Conference more sustainable. Choose one or as many as you’d like: 

When On-site:

  • Use low-carbon transportation options. While onsite, ride public transportation (buses and trains), or rideshare with people you know.

  • Participate in your hotel's green initiatives (e.g., opt-out of daily linen changes, take advantage of paperless check-in/check-out options).

  • Download the Conference Mobile App to schedule events and sessions.

  • Bring your own reusable mug or water bottle.

  • Turn in your conference badge at the end of the conference.

When traveling to Conference:

  • Try to book direct routes when flying. Planes release the most carbon during takeoff and landing.

  • Fly economy. First and Business class takes up more space per seat, which means more fuel per passenger.

  • Pack light, as heavy luggage requires more fuel to carry.

  • Avoid food and water waste. Bring meals with you and refill your own water bottle.

  • Ask your hotel what they're doing to reduce their carbon footprint (i.e., LED lights, thermal insulation, less frequent laundering, etc.).
