Both the article and the lecture are discussing the eco-certified wood from different perspectives. The article states that American companies will not change their policies in order to gain certification and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor casts doubt on the claims made in the article and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the reading states that American costumers do not trust advertisements, so, they will not care if the wood is certified or not. The professor, however, refutes this point. He says that customer can differentiate between different commercials and they know what kind of advertising they should trust. Furthermore, this companies will be examined by a reputable independent agency, this makes it more trustful.
Second, the article claims that the eco-certified wood will be more expensive than the usual one and since the costumer are motivated by the price; the will yield in a significant decline in the company profits. So, companies will not jeopardize their profits. This point was challenged by the professor, he states that it is true that anyone is attracted the low price product, but the rise of the price will be little, and that small rise of the price will not hinder the costumes from buying good quality products.
Finally, while the reading posits that American companies do not need to keep up with the global trend of certification of wood because they sell their wood locally, the professor argued this point. He states if the companies work locally, they will be afraid of the foreigner companies that may attract some of their customers who care about the environment.
So, the professor refutes all the claims that made in the article successfully.
