Eco-certified Wood Products
The article introduces the topic of the use of eco-certified wood products. More specifically, the author discusses the reasons contributing to the unwillingness of US companies to obtain eco-certification. The lecturer in the listening passage disagrees and believes that thus stated reasons are not true.
In the reading, the author begins by stating that, US citizens are subjected to the exaggerated advertisement of products so eco-certified products won't matter in their purchase. The lecturer, however, disagrees with this viewpoint. He states that US consumers trust the claims done by an independent organization and it becomes an influential factor for their purchase.
The author claims that US citizens are cost-minded consumers. As the cost of getting the eco-certification of product is passed onto the consumer so they are unlikely to buy those products. Again, the lecturer believes there are flaws in the writer's argument. The speaker points out when the cost difference is marginal, eco-friendly consumers are more likely to purchase eco-certified products rather than cheap and uncertified products.
Another reason why the author holds his claim is because he states that the sales of these products are domestic and don't require considering the opinion of the foreign consumer. The professor in the listening passage is doubtful that this is accurate. He suggests that the possibility of foreign companies with eco-certified products to invest in the US market has increased so the US companies should be wary about the competitive market in the near future.
To sum up, both the writer and professor hold conflicting views about this matter.
