A new social media campaign is challenging people to live on $1.50 worth of food a day, in an attempt to recreate this budgetary situation that 1.4 billion people on earth must live through, and ultimately raise awareness about such poverty. The campaign is named Live Below the Line and is supported by Australian actor Hugh Jackman. Where social media comes into play in this campaign is through Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. People are encouraged to help the campaign by undertaking the $1.50 challenge and post their experiences online. The campaign is being run in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
