Blackpool?

And we have our winner!

Expy:

Called a colour, seems unfair, - Black, generally seen as a sombre or negative colour

Called some water, I have more, - Pool, when it's by the sea

With a beach that has no sands, - Blackpool Pleasure Beach, a theme park

And lights turned on by famous hands. - The Illuminations that run every autumn and I think usually have a celebrity to turn them on

The rock? Best made to disappear. - Blackpool Rock. You make it disappear by eating it.

The garden? Place for eye and ear. - The Winter Gardens, home to a theatre

So cross the tracks, but look both ways, - The town's tramways

And hope for many sunny days. - Well dur. Nobody wants it to rain when they're on holiday!

My tower inspired by one much higher, - The Blackpool Tower, based on the Eiffel Tower

My team in bright orange attire, - Blackpool Football Club

Fish is best fresh from the frier, - and with chips

This riddle comes down to the wire. - An Incredibly Lame Pun, the Wyre is a river near Blackpool.

Thanks!!!

Riddle as:

Food food everywhere but not a thing to eat, except myself!

You see me everywhere but only a model will fit, on your shelf!

In the past I felt blue, but now I'm going green.

I'm the one vital thing we must keep clean.

[Ethanadams]

The earth?

[Robotengineer]

The Environment?

[StrandedonEarth]

Water/Ocean? Air? the sky?

[Technical Ben]

The earth?

Correct! I made it too easy.

Can only eat "it's self" as all the resources come from there (with exception to the energy from the sun).

Only a little globe would fit on a shelf, but you can see it out the window.

It's blue and green... though was mainly blue in the past.

Well, it's been three days.

My hues are as varied as the rainbow,

but I most commonly bear the shades of pain.

Sometimes I am as sand, sometimes I am as water, sometimes I am as blood.

Bear my vessel upon thyself at thine own risk;

those who are careless, shall find their heart is left with a stain.

[Ethanadams]

Iron? Oxygen? The bends.

[teepee2345]

Blood?

[Ethanadams]

Iron fits the bill but carbon could to?

[teepee2345]

Lead?

[Ethanadams]

Arsenic? Hell?

[Robotengineer]

Fire?

None of the above.

The "heart" is not literally referring to an actual heart.
