n an effort to encourage ecologically sustainable forestry practices, an international organization started issuing certifications to wood companies that meet high ecological standards by conserving resources and recycling materials. Companies that receive this certification can attract customers by advertising their products as eco-certified. Around the world, many wood companies have adopted new, ecologically friendly practices in order to receive eco-certification. However, it is unlikely that wood companies in the United States will do the same, for several reasons.
First, American consumers are exposed to so much advertising that they would not value or even pay attention to the eco-certification label. Because so many mediocre products are labeled “new” or “improved”, American consumers do not place much trust in advertising claims in general.
Second, eco-certified wood will be more expensive than uncertified wood because in order to earn eco-certification, a wood company must pay to have its business examined by a certification agency. This additional cost gets passed on to consumers—American consumers tend to be strongly motivated by price, and therefore they are likely to choose cheaper uncertified wood products. Accordingly, American wood companies will prefer to keep their prices low rather than obtain eco-certification.
Third, although some people claim that it always makes good business sense for American companies to keep up with the developments in the rest of the world, this argument is not convincing. Pursuing certification would make sense forAmerican wood companies only if they marketed most of their products abroad. But that is not the case,American wood businesses sell most of their products in the United States, catering to a very large customer base that is satisfied with the merchandise.

In the lecture, the professor asserts that there is a good reason for Americans to seek eco-certified wood and they will eventually adopt the ecologically friendly practice to receive eco-certification. This casts doubt on the reading, which claims that it is unlikely that wood companies in the United States will do the same, for many reasons.
First and foremost, The speaker argues that American customers do not treat all advertising the same. In fact, because they distinguish between advertising made by companies owning the product and advertising by independent certification agencies, they trust independent international organizations, Americans who are eco-minded are likely to favor the value of eco-certified wood for its international trustworthy. This challenges the text, which posits that American consumers are exposed to so much advertising that they would not value or even pay attention to the eco-certified label.
Second, the lecturer proclaims that studies have shown that price is not the only determining factor for consumers to buy certified products. Indeed, because if the price difference between eco-certified and uncertified wood is very small like 5%, it would not be a significant factor in choosing between product, and it is more likely that Americans will value the environment, and acquire eco-certified products. This opposes the reading, which declares that American wood companies will prefer to keep their low prices rather than acquire eco-certification.
Finally, the professor says US wood companies pay attention not only to foreign customers but also to foreign competitions. In fact, because if Americans were slow in capturing foreign companies, the American market will be soon crowding in these firms, which offer certified wood rather than domestic companies. So, there is a good chance that US citizens will be more interested in eco-certified wood. In controversy, the article asserts that American wood businesses sell most of their products in the United States, catering to a very large customer base that is satisfied with the merchandise.
