Have you ever looked out of the window of a passenger plane from 30,000 feet and wondered how people can have any major effect on the Earth? I have. But it is now becoming pretty clear that we are causing a great deal of damage to the natural environment. And the planes are one of the causes of the biggest environmental problem that we face today – global warming.
For those of us lucky enough to have money to spend, and the free time to spend it in, there are a huge number of fascinating places to explore. The cost of air transport has become cheaper over the years, and for many people, especially in rich countries, it is now possible to fly around the world for little more than the contents of our weekly pay packets.
Unfortunately, planes produce far more carbon dioxide (CO2) than any other form of public transport, and CO2 is now known to be a greenhouse gas, a gas which traps the heat of the sun, causing the temperature of the Earth to rise.
So what can be done to solve the problem? Well, although aircraft engine manufacturers are making more efficient engines and researching alternative fuels such as hydrogen, it will be decades before air travel is not damaging to the environment. Governments don’t seem to be taking the problem seriously, so it is up to individual travellers to do what they can to help.
The most obvious way of dealing with the problem is to not travel by plane at all. Environmental groups like Friends of the Earth encourage people to travel by train and plan holidays nearer home. They also advise using teleconferencing for international business meetings, but most businesspeople still prefer to meet face-to-face.

1. Global warming is one of the biggest problems in modern world.
2. Nowadays you have to pay more if you want to travel by plane.
3. Planes produce more CO2 than other means of transport.
4. Governments do a lot to solve the problem.
5. Travellers should travel less.
6. Businesspeople haven’t stopped travelling by plane.

The Metropolitan hotel "Aurora MARRIOTT Royal" is the first in Eastern Europe to offer its guests the services of butlers. This service is provided at the hotel since its opening in 1999, the Idea to create a service butlers belonged to the first General Manager of the hotel Heresy Jaron and the Director of guest services Heather Todd heiser. As told by Ms. Todd heiser, given that the services of Butler is a unique service not only in Moscow but also in the world as a whole, the decision was immediately put Aurora in some of the best hotels in the capital.

Since 2000 the Butler service was included in the price of all room categories and is now available to all guests of the hotel. In this regard, the staff butlers was expanded to 17 people. All the incumbents of this office have higher education or study at the undergraduate institutions, mostly on a speciality "hotel business."
Most butlers were trained in private British school, a high level of training ten of them confirmed by an appropriate certificate. Service Manager Leila Usubov trained in a London hotel The Lanesborough and now she can conduct the trainings. By the way, the unusual uniform butlers in tails and white gloves --also sewn in the UK.
Butlers "Aurora" greeted guests at the door with a glass of champagne and introduced to the infrastructure of the hotel. In the future, the guest will be able at any time to seek the assistance of Butler, butler by clicking the button on the phone. According to Leyla Subway, Butler service differs from the Concierge the fact that if the latter engaged in "outside" tasks, i.e. ensure the guest information about the city, the butlers solve "internal" problems of the guest related directly with the hotel. So, the duties of a Butler includes unpacking and packing of suitcases, the so-called butler breakfast — morning tea, coffee or juice and newspaper in the room and taxi call, tickets booking, Shoe Shine, etc.
