The reading and the passage are both about eco-certified products within forestry industry. The author of the reading believes that Americans would not respond positive to this ideas. The lecturer casts doubts about the claims made in the article. He thinks that the arguments stated are not accurate when compared with present realities.
First, buyers express differ attitudes when they analyze advertising of different products. This is because they have the capacity to distinguish between the low-quality products and certificates ones. Moreover, an international eco-certificated institution is a factor that reassures them about the quality of the items. Therefore, they can do right judgments when choosing a product, and thereby avoiding the situations when consumers might be cheated by fake labels. This is a counter-point to what the passage indicates.
Second, according to some studies, prices can be a problem only if the difference between certificated products and uncertified ones, is too big. The lecturer considers that Americans prefer cheaper items to more expensive products. However, the speaker mentions the price would increase only with five percent, and thus purchasers would not consider this as being an impediment. On the contrary, people would take into consideration other factors, such as valuing and protecting the environment. This is another standpoint that contradicts the author's point of view.
Third, American companies must maintain the competition with the international firms. If the local industries keep a low profile, the national market can be invaded by more developed companies. Since people started to give more attention to the methods of preserving the planet, their attention is definitely directed to firms that can provide friendly-environment products. Thus, final argument is also against the theory stated in the passage. In conclusion, the author and the lecturer appear to be in disagreement regarding this topic.
