Here's something that I have imagined, that may or may not exist:
A simple globe that uses colors and texture to indicate the geographical features of the earth, but with no writing on it whatsoever. No indications of humankind's imprint: no political boundaries, no labels, no writing or lines at all. Just an indication of how one would see our planet from space. I think having such a globe available would help people see the earth more realistically and perhaps be more inclined to saving it.
For comparison's sake, I would also like to see what our planet might have looked like 1,000 or so years ago, before our civilization made such changes to the land, but still more or less capturing its present state after the last ice age and what-not. Just so we can see the man-made changes that have already been done.
What will the Earth look like in another 1,000 years?
Some believe that our planet is billions of years old; will human civilization be responsible for destroying it in mere thousands?
