Considering that the overall circus literature is quite young and frail, and the connection to other themes just started to pop up in recent decades, this work is based on almost non-previous specific lore and therefore to be understood as a patchwork that really just scratches the surface of a much greater picture (which is indeed still more like a puzzle). The investigation of the relationship between environmental protection and circus productions is something quite complex, but the tiny data collected and analyzed already shows the importance of this endeavor. Already some crucial ideas and important questions pop up from this quest:

— From the chart is plausible to draw the conclusion that for the practice in itself it's not indispensable the creation of new materials for a more sustainable scenario. Though it is true that the plastic terrain gain allowed many breakthroughs in the circus world like the stretch of juggling records, yet what really made the bridge to a new era was not the numbers of “catches” and “flashes”. Instead, it was the ability to transcend the concept of throwing and capturing objects, been creative in whatever movements could arise from the human interaction with this same objects. So, at least in some aspects the elaboration of new technologies is not a must, going back to the “roots” and re-investigating original materials would probably unfold a world of new possibilities that are already kind of at hand. Similarly, the adaptation and/ or co-working with other industries could provide quick solutions that may avoid the necessity of new material development. Taking for instance the aerial section, on questioning the increasing demand for tape in a variety of props. Even in the realization of its absolute necessity, still in many cases, there are already alternatives on the market not focused on circus performance, but that could be easily integrated from others areas as a good compromise for tape use.

— The blooming of circus in the last 20 year or so represent a beautiful rebirth of this millennial art, a huge expansion from the old tends to pretty much everywhere in society. Circus made itself a new spotlight with all the inventive and critical contemporary pieces, the merging and exchange not just with theater and dance, but even with philosophy, physics and much more; Also it kept thriving as a gigantic member of the entertainment sector, taking for example so much space on the new cruise ship business; Great ground were also gained on the educational area with more professional circus schools been created, as well as the old ones enriching their curriculum as much as Master and PhD degrees; Besides, the schools that use circus as a tool to reach children and youth for social beneficial purposes sprouted across all continents. With this colossal elongation of breaches comes an exponential use of circus props, raising more than ever the need of awareness about the environmental sustainability of the circus practices. Likewise, the necessity of strategies on how to deal with this constantly expending market that per se requires raw materials, abundance in energy, and not less important social and economic stability to succeed.

— Who's gonna be the agents to develop and carry on these strategies? Circus artist already constantly confront themselves with the need of taking over activities that are essential for their performance but in a fair scenario would be the tasks of other professionals. Mostly out of financial reasons (as common in art sectors) the circus artists are compelled to direct their own pieces, sew their own costumes, do their own office work and PR, and so on. Whilst many people enjoy being the masters of their own venture in all corners, others simply have no means to delegate and concentrate on their creative process. Bringing a new concerning, the environmental aspect of circus, into the contemporary circus dialogue can be a potential overcharge in a class that historically already “stands basically on its own strength” and "edge". Obviously the participation of all the professionals involved in circus production is vital for the creation of more harmonic systems, that integrates nature in the perspectives of the artistic project. On the other hand, the interdisciplinary cooperation might be mostly welcome to the successful advancement of such strategies. It will need much more incentive, specially financial, to promote the needed cooperation between many different sectors of society around the strategies of environmental sustainability in circus.
