There is an article about the the ecocertification offered by an international organization and it is explained that American people do not interest it, in the listening passage the lecturer claims that Americans should pay attention to it. Summarize the

The passage provides three reasons that American wood companies won't be interested in obtaining the eco-certification from an international organization, while the lecturer refutes the arguments by providing opposite predictions about wood companies' attitude toward the eco-certification.

First, the passage asserts that American people won't care about the eco-certification label on the products because there are already numerous advertisements in the United States, on which people don't trust. However, the lecturer points out that American people don't treat all the advertisements the same. They distinguish between the case that companies talk about their products and the case that a reputable international organization verifies a product. He claims that people would favor the products that have this certification.

Furthermore, the passage claims that acquiring this certification will result in an increase in prices of products. The lecturer agrees with the statement but mentions that the product cost will only affect the decision of people if its price is much higher or much lower than competitive ones. Thus, the small amount of increase caused by obtaining eco-certification won't influence the interest of American people in products which have this label.

Finally, the passage illustrates that American wood companies mostly sell their products in the United States, and consequently, they don't pay attention to foreign markets. Conversely, the lecturer argues that even if the companies don't care about foreign purchasers, they do care about the foreign competition. The companies are afraid of the situation where a foreign company conquers the markets inside the United States, and as a result, they would seek this certification in order to keep up with the competition with international companies in fascinating American customers.
