Eco certification and American wood companies Integrated Reading Section In an effort to encourage ecologically sustainable forestry practices an international organization started issuing certifications to wood companies that meet high ecological standar

Both the reading passage and the lecture discuss the new eco-friendly procedure done by the wood companies in order to achieve eco-certificate. While the reading explains that Americans are not likely to be the same, the lecture refutes all the points made by the author using its own reasons and explanations.

To begin with, the passage claims that buyers generally do not place much trusty in advertisements as a myriad of US products are labels as 'new' or 'improved'. The lecture, on the other hand, rebuts this opinion by stating that Americans do believe in private corporation's certificate which has an international reputation.

Furthermore, the author of the article mentions that eco-certification will cost more money than the certificate that is not certified which most Americans would choose not to do. However, the professor argues that people will only decide whether to buy or not if the price is 5 percent higher.

Finally, the last point in the article states that American wood companies will not keep up with the rest of the world since they do not sell their products abroad. So it would not make any sense for them. According to the professor, the company should be more alerted to foreign competition. He notes that consumers are likely to follow their companies for eco-certification.

In conclusion, the reading passage mentions three different ideas of why the wood companies in the United States would not benefit from eco-friendly steps. The lecture opposes all of the points using its own reasons and evidence.
