Finland it the third most enviromental country in the world, and would be the most enviromental without the worlds most polluted ocean, Itämeri. Finland has also the person with highest speeding ticket, Jussi Salonoja. The ticket was 170000 euros, because he drove twice the speed allowed with a motorbike in Helsinki, february 2004.
