At the start of the new year, the Rev Kate Bottley visits a stunning earth installation in Bristol Cathedral and meets Christians inspired by faith to care for the environment.

The cathedral is hosting the Gaia artwork, a stunning representation of planet earth as seen from space, created by Luke Gerram to spread awareness of climate change. Canon Jonnie Parkin tells Kate what the cathedral is doing to help protect the planet and why faith inspires us to celebrate God’s green earth.

To the south of city, the Bristol Steppin Sistas group head out to walk, sing and pray in the great outdoors. Founder Sophia Brown talks about why she was inspired to help women of colour to get out into nature.

And back at Bristol Cathedral, Kate meets local Christian Sam Mabley, who talks about the importance of shopping sustainably before the cathedral puts on a show to celebrate sustainable fashion week.
