In 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 ecocertified. Around the world, many wood companies have adopted new, ecologically friendly practices in order to receive ecocertification. 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 ecocertification label. Because so many mediocre products are labeled 'new" or improved,'' American consumers do not place much trust in advertising claims in general.

Second, ecocertified wood will be more expensive than uncertified wood because in order to earn ecocertification, 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 ecocertification

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 for American 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.

The article and the lecturer are both about ecocertification for the wood products. The author of reading feels that not good ecocetification for wood companies in the USA.The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. The lecturer thinks that good reason to think manny amarican wood companies will seek ecocertification for wood products.

First of all, the author argues that amarican consumers are exposed to much advertising and its not value or pay to ecocertification label. The article is mentioned that it not much advertising claims in general. This point is challenged by the lecturer.He claims Amaricans have lots of confidence in indipendent agencies. Furthermore, he says Amaricans are likely to react favorably to wood products ecologically certified by independent organization with internatianal reputation for trustworthiness.

Secondly, tha author suggests that ecocertified wood will be more expensive than uncertified wood becouse wood company must pay for certification agency. The article notes that most of them choose cheaper uncertified wood products. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He suggests that price not much care about ecocertification wood products. Its only deferent in five percent with uncertifed wood product. He elobarates on this by mentioning that Amaricans are convienced to by ecocerticfication wood products because of the valubel of preserving and protecting the environment.

Finally, the author states that Amaricans always makes good business sense to keep up with the developments in the rest of the world. Moreover, the article says that most of their products catering to very large customer base that is satisfied with the merchandise. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that wood companies in USA shoud pay more attention in internationally with foreign competitors. He notes that this ecocertifed products is good chance to make more customer tail with foreign companies.
