Today, a video presented by Allbirds featuring Academy Award-winning actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio, also an investor of the brand, will be released ask “New Questions?” - What if using different materials made all the difference?
同时，Allbirds携手致力于环境保护的奥斯卡影帝莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥（Leonardo DiCaprio）发布品牌概念视频，共同提出了一个未曾被提及的问题：改变取材，会否让一切变得不同？
The certified B-Corp answers DiCaprio’s question and proves that comfort comes from nature. Allbirds not only seeks natural and recycled materials for its innovative, comfortable and streamlined designs, but always keeps sustainability in mind. One of the many examples is that Allbirds has fully launched the "carbon neutral" plan to offset the emission it took to make shoes.
作为美国B-Corp（Benefit Corporation共益企业）官方认证企业的Allbirds则以实际行动给予回答：舒适源于自然。自创立以来，Allbirds便将自然视作灵感缪斯，不仅通过天然、环保的原材料成就创新、舒适、简约的产品设计，更持续践行可持续发展的环保理念。近期，Allbirds已全面启动“碳基金”行动计划，投入资金实现“碳抵消”，从而降低对环境的影响。
