First, according to the speaker consumers in the United States don’t treat all advertisements the same. The lecture made a difference between the advertisement claims made by the advertisement companies of their product and those which are independently advertising their products. Americans have more faith on an independent advertised product and which is ecologically certified by a recognized international organization.
Secondly, the lecture says that the American consumers do care about the price of the product, however they are more inclined towards buying products which are eco-friendly in nature and ready to pay an extra price for the products. For example in case of wood; if there is five percent difference between the ecological wood and non ecological the US people would not hesitate in buying the eco-friendly wood which is a little bit higher in price. The speaker also says that the Americans consumers care about an environment of their country and buying an eco-friendly product would be beneficial to them.
