Dear Auntie,

I recently met the man of my dreams at a local climate change awareness meeting. Tall, dark, handsome and with a more than passing resemblance to a young George Monbiot, I fell for him immediately. After several environmentally-friendly, ethical dates, we both feel we are ready to take things a step further.

The problem is that we aren’t sure if there are any potential environmental considerations that we should take into account before doing so. We are both worried that there might be problems we haven’t considered. Can you help?
