This week “Solutions News Radio” will welcome Art Ludwig

The new weekly local radio show, “Solutions News Radio,” hosted by Rinaldo Brutoco, president and founder of the World Business Academy, will air live this Friday from 5-6 p.m. on KZSB 1290 AM radio. There will be replay broadcasts Friday from 11 p.m.– 12 a.m., Saturday from 5- 6 p.m. and again on Sunday from 9 -10 a.m. The show is also available on demand as a podcast on Apple podcasts, SoundCloud or the Solutionsnews.org website.

This week’s guest is Art Ludwig, top-selling author and international design consultant. Ludwig’s specialty is complex, deep green, integrated “systems of systems” for water, wastewater, energy, shelter, and transportation. He created his own program in ecological systems design at SBCC and UC Berkeley. While at UC Berkeley, Ludwig’s research led to the development of the first laundry detergent biocompatible with plants and soil. To list more successes to Ludwig’s career, his book Create an Oasis with Greywater and Water Storage still tops Amazon’s list of best-selling plumbing books.

Ludwig has created many original innovations that have been published, unpatented, into the public domain for the common good. These include the Branched Drain and Laundry to Landscape greywater systems. The latter is a best practice that has propagated worldwide. More than 20 agencies in California offer rebates for this system, which also received federal job training stimulus funds. He has worked professionally on building codes in three states. His quantitative analysis of the health risks of greywater cleared the way for more rational regulation of greywater in California. He also spearheaded the introduction of a bill legalizing research on sustainable building in California. Listen in Friday to learn even more!
