There are a million questions that come up during an international move, and one of the most pressing for families is: Where do I send my kids to school? This is no simple question.

Coop Pilots Recycle Containers; Geneva Auto Show Set To Start; Stamp Forgers Rampage
News For 5 March 2019
Coop, the Swiss food retailing giant has been experimenting with reusable containers for its take-away food offerings. Until now, if you intended to make a purchase from the take-away counter, you'd pack your food in a disposable container which would end up in a landfill once you finished your meal. In a bid to reduce waste, Coop's Basel stores have been testing a reusable system, since Friday. The containers are purchased for 10 Swiss Francs, and if you find cleaning them to tedious, they can be returned or exchanged. "If the pilot project goes well with our guests, we will introduce the reusable system this summer in all our restaurants and take-aways throughout Switzerland," said Kaspar Wittwer, head of Coop gastronomy, in a press release on Friday.

Even so, high-end brands like Aston Martin, Audi and Mercedes will be showing off concept electric SUVs, which are proving to make waves in 2019's automotive industry. **********
