Earth - limited-edition!

Most of us receive offers for limited edition products. Sometimes we even get really excited about them! They’re usually special and always scarce - hence the limited-edition. We cannot get an edition more limited than Earth - if ruined, it would be really tough to restore.
Unlike most types of art, we cannot make reproductions of this original (as far as I know). It’s also rather impossible to purchase and bring home.
The one thing we all can do - and in fact we do this every day - is add our personal signature. How we sign it depends on how we treat it. Do we treat it like the fine art it should be? How would you treat a prized Picasso or Renoir if you could bring one home? When you think about it, earth is quite a magical thing that’s easy to take for granted. How much are you willing to pay to preserve your art - last time I checked, even getting a simple picture frame was rarely less than $10 http://pictureframes.com. Imagine the cost to frame the earth, if we even could. As the earth has a diameter of 7,926.41 miles (12,756.32 kilometers), the frame would need to roughly 31,705.64 miles (51,025.28 kilometers) of material - and that’s without a nice beveled mat! I realize this may be a silly comparison because one does not usually live on a piece of art (or do you?). But the fact remains that earth is a limited edition - there’s only one. We should do what we can to take care of it - and restore it so future generations have the chance to enjoy all that it provides. Sign it gently and enjoy!
