"In the chill of a massive cave beneath an orthodox Christian cathedral in Helsinki, Finland, a city power firm is preparing what it thinks will be the greenest data center on the planet.

Excess heat from hundreds of computer servers to be located in the bedrock beneath Uspenski Cathedral, one of Helsinki's most popular tourist sites, will be captured and channeled into the district heating network, a system of water-heated pipes used to warm homes in the Finnish capital."

Tap water in Finland has been found to be significantly purer than bottled drinking water.
A fresh study by the National Public Health Institute indicates that bottled water contains up to 100 times more microbes than the average for tap water. Water in spring water machines contained up to 1,000 times more microbes than tap water. The study found that being kept for a long time in plastic containers significantly weakens the quality of bottled water.
