According to Live Below the Line’s website, the projects’s goal is “to give a glimpse into the lives of 1.4 billion people who have no choice but to live below the line every day — and who have to make $1.50 cover a lot more than food.”
The participants have to follow a set of guidelines listed here. Among them? “From April 29 to May 3, you can spend no more than $1.50 a day on food and drink. This means you have a total of $7.50 with which to buy all ingredients for your meals. The full cost of all the items you consume must be included in your budget. This means budgeting for whole packages of food such as rice, pasta, noodles and eggs etc.”
Also taking part in the campaign are Sophia Bush, Josh Groban and Debi Mazar.
Do you think you can do this?
