Being honest and having integrity is what Jonah Gleason prides himself on. Even when the opportunity arises to break the rules at his benefit Jonah is honest and does what is right.
The most recent story of Jonah’s honesty was in the Mustang Grill last night. He went to checkout ordering a meal and carrying a protein shake from the fridges that he planned to pay for. When they ringed up his total the protein shake was not added and the cashier was ready to send him on his way to wait for his food.

The concept has been featured in many media reports, tv shows, and books including the highest grossing movie of all time Avatar.
This is news because its an idea that has been viewed as fictional but some aspects of the idea may actually be happening. In the article they talk about the idea being too wide spread, too soon leading people believing that trees are having conversations underground when it isn’t proven to be happening yet.
