AB  - Humans are significantly contributing to global warming from the burning of fossil fuels for energy, agriculture, industrial processes and transportation. This situation affected the environment. Consequently, billions of people will be facing threats of flooding, severe storms, shortages of clean drink able water, food insecurity and increased risks of disease. These impacts have been well documented by the international panel on climate change. Learning from nature is very useful in mitigating the environmental issues toward a sustainable development. Accelerating in designing environmentally friendly products is essential to reduce the current and long-term impacts of climate change. This study discusses some issues relevant to recycling, energy consumption and energy conservation. Some recommendations were made about conceiving environmental friendly products while saving energy.
