The hottest trend you can ever follow these days is to go green. In 2008, some of us got into the green habit of using eco-friendly shopping bags and buying fashion and beauty products made of sustainable materials.

Another way to expand that all-new green habit is through your choice of those ubiquitous paper products on your desk—from journals and calendars to nifty note cards, such as these products by MDM Design & Indie Art Stationery Co.

Aside from being handcrafted by trained young Filipino artisans, MDM products use earth-friendly materials such as canvass fabrics, eco-safe inks, and mixed recycled paper fibers. Their unique designs also make for beautiful all-occasion gifts and personal paraphernalia you won’t find elsewhere.

You can start planning for the New Year with the 2009 Desk Calendar (P270), which features 12 colorful MDM tree artwork designs and environmental campaigns. Check out more eco-friendly products after the jump.
