If your idea does not result in a positive response at first, ask if there are other ideas of projects or efforts to address the issue you are concerned about. You could also ask who else will have ideas on how to create a successful project that will fix the problem. It may be a case of how to rephrase your project idea. There are most likely people that share your concern and just have different opinions on how to address it.
