There are many reasons why a (potentially) highly beneficial project, such as a study, may be unable to attract funding - due to lack of awareness or that it goes against some vested interest, for example.
This is the place to post these projects, so that people who have the money and like to see such projects succeed can find out about them.

The idea was to give consumers real-world data to inform their decisions around avoiding/minimising microplastics. Some sources are orders of magnitude worse than others, so this potentially allowed people to eliminate a large portion of their exposure by just avoiding the products with the largest amounts.
This was a project that someone wanted to happen and was willing to pay for, but for whatever reason wasn't being done by the usual institutions (universities, governments).
The idea of this post is to give people who have money a way to find out about other projects that fit this shape, so they can fund them.
