A survey that was carried out by British researchers indicated that the happiest and the greenest place of residents in the world is Costa Rica while Estonia is quite far from it, writes the National Broadcasting/LETA.

Researchers of the think tank New Economics Forum compared the average life expectancy of residents of different countries, residents' satisfaction with their lives as well as the so-called ecological footprints of the countries.

Estonia ranks 131st in the list as the average life expectancy of local residents is only 71.2 years and only 56% of Estonian residents are satisfied with their lives. The country's big ecological footprint is the biggest factor in Estonia's bad position – far behind Russia that ranks 108th.

Lithuania ranks 86th and Latvia 101st. Finland is on the 59th position and Sweden on the 53rd place.

12 African countries are the only ones behind Estonia.
