However the talk makes the point that the American people do not treat same all advertisements, and they know that an advertisement is made by own company or and independent organization.

Second, the text asserts that the wood of the certified companies will be expensive because their business should examined by an agency, hence it makes cost for the wood company, consequently the companies should sell their products with higher price and the American people prefer to buy inexpensive products. On the contrary, the speaker believes that it is true that Americans care about price, but it happens only when to companies have competition on price. But a small amount of money is not very important for people, and also the American people know the value of the preserving and protecting the nature.
Third, according to the article, American companies do not import their products to the other countries, therefore they do not pursuing the certification.
