“Interested in eating less oil? In this VideoNation/Hidden Driver report, animator Molly Schwartz keeps track of how many miles your food travels from field to fork.”

This video offers a U.S. perspective on these issues. I found it to be well done.

A blog post about consensus decision-making -
http://mollymew.blogspot.com/2008/02/cats-meow-issues-surrounding-consensus.html
with a link to a web forum discussion about this.

Remarks from the blog post author - 
The consensus model is "an open invitation for ... personal manipulation."  "It is also totally inappropriate where the issues being discussed are of any real importance and especially where there are real political differences that don't deserve to be argued into a false oblivion, only to resurface later (often at the very second when exhausted participants finally and mercifully exit the stage of the all too long meeting). In addition to this it gives huge power to salaried 'professional leftists' and those amongst us with no jobs nor family (and with exceedingly strong bladders ie coffee drinkers are penalized)."
