J: Preface: C is an Environmental Campaign organizer that works with the Global Environmental Action organization (GEA). C stops to speak with a potential donor, J.

J: Hello C, how are you?
C: I am good, thanks. And you?
J: Good. Can I have more information about global warming before I donate? I know it is a very important topic.
C: Sure! Global warming is the gradual rising of the atmospheric and ocean temperatures of the earth. It is very possible that in five years the planet will be unsustainable to live on.
C: Class, what do you know about global warming?
J: I know global warming is very bad but I don't know much else.
C: Actually we have a dying planet. Global warming has many causes. One cause is greenhouse gases. Secondly, CFC'S. They contribute to the destruction of the ozone. Finally, human activity. We produce toxic effects on the earth. Did you know that?
J: No, interesting! How does this affect us as a population?
C: Many things like heat waves, hurricanes, acid rain and drought.
J: I never knew. Is there anything that individuals can do to help this horrible problem?
C: Yes! Turn off the lights, television and the computer when they are not in use, buy organic products, and use public transportation like the bus, bicycle, or walk. Additionally remember the three R's: reduce, reuse, and recycle. In summary there are many solutions that anyone can do. What are you doing to reduce your impact, J?
J: I am using rechargeable batteries, turning off the faucet when not in use, and recycling recyclables. There are no harm/hurtful fertilizers in my garden and I also plant trees. Thanks for the tips, I will try to use them in the future.
J: Class, what do you to reduce your impact on our planet?
C: Excellent! The Global Environmental Action organization has been working since 2008 to promote the education of this issue to the public and create awareness.
J: Thanks for speaking with me C! I really learned a lot about global warming. I am going to donate $500 dollars by the end of the week.
J: Class, what have you learned today about global warming? What is one important fact?
C: No problem, you are very kind! I hope that in the future this problem will not exist. I feel that with everyone's help, this can be done.

I've marked up your text, pointing out where changes are needed (or where I made a change) and have given you some hints here and there. A lot of the errors are misspelled words (words are not spelled correctly if an accent mark is omitted)
