What is the cost of convenience? For the Price of a Cup of Coffee is a
short environmental documentary examining the life cycle of a paper cup and the
repercussions of a society reliant on convenience. Why are less than 1% of
coffeeshop patrons bringing their own cup? Why do we have so much garbage, and
where does it go? What is the true cost of a disposable culture? Shot throughout
the San Francisco Bay Area, including interviews with local activists,
environmental experts and coffeeshop owners. This film is full of information
that all consumers should know about the products that we use everyday, and the
steps we need to make towards a more sustainable world.

the to go cups come from (and where they all end up), and made this profound
short documentary. Learn about what goes into each cup, and how many cups are
loaded into landfills each day. If you dont already drink from a reusable cup,
whats stopping you from making the switch?" - Earth Circle Cinema
