Oxcart environment friendly transportation in Cambodia. Oxcart, better than diesel engine and trucks, oxcart gives you time to do safely the important work
Oxcart or truck
An oxcart is large enough for all the gooddies in life - a truck is needed for all the junk in life.

Oxcart in Cambodia - NO fuel cost, nearly no maintenance for life
There are millions of carts and trucks of all sizes on our planet. Oxcarts or similar natural transport media are rather seldom, yet totally sufficient to carry the really important stuff in life.
Look at the shelves of our supermarkets and malls or warehouses. 90+% of all is junk, articles produced for profit only and of little or no value at all to mankind. To be of real value an object needs to add to happiness of mankind. What objects you find for sale do really add to your own happiness?
Whenever I go thru a huge shopping mall - with sufficient cash in my pocket to make any sale I wanted, from a motorcycle, bicycle, stereo, color TV or any other gadget - I always return home empty handed because absolutely none of the objects is tempting for me or of any value to increase happiness in my life or in the life of anyone else around me.

Oxcart load - large enough for all important supplies needed for life or work to be happy
Look at the Oxcart's load and you see that is really of importance to the owner of that oxcart - he most likely has the same values in life as I do or at least very natural / organic values. Food, a few tools and basic supply is all we need. Most other products we get from within our neighborhood if we have chosen a natural living environment. Other goods may be produced at home by our own family. The few valuable items we need to transport can as well be transported by an oxcart, horse cart, or even bicycle. Regular shopping can be done by walking or bicycle.
I grew up in similar situation and despite the nearly unlimited possibilities I have acquired now, I am still far more comfortable and far more happy to live a simple life and to use my own body and simple tools / aids for my own life.
Such natural transportation means help us to maintain a healthy body, a healthy planet and a healthy low family budget as well. Besides all above, this man has all the time to think about life, to see and greet people on his way home and to stop when ever needed for a chat with others or to help others on his way of work.
Look at the latter situation while driving a car and you notice that car drivers hear nothing, meet no one and never have an opportunity to stop or even to realize the need to stop by someone in need of help or a few loving words.
Reconsider your life and your lifestyle and maybe you step a few steps back into a more natural way of life - a life affordable by our mutual planet and affordable by your own budget as well.
Love and Bliss
