GOLD SOUND IS GREEN
For over 33 years, Gold Sound has been environmentally conscious.
1] People often give us old stereo equipment. Whenever possible, we fix the equipment or use the parts to fix other equipment. If they can't be fixed, we recycle the metal parts.
2] Most things sold at big box stores have very short warranties with little or no service available. After a year or two they break & must be replaced. Our equipment usually has a 3 year or longer parts & labor warranty. Many have 5 years or even 10 year warranties. The brands we sell can last 30, 40 or 50 years. Buying the right equipment once saves money & helps the environment.
3] Each year we recycle thousands of pounds of paper, cardboard & metal. We sort & recycle the metal by type, including aluminum, copper, brass, lead, iron & steel. 4] In 1980, Ron Gold studied passive solar design at the Graduate Architecture School at the University of Colorado at Denver. The Gold Sound building follows passive design principles. Most of the glass faces south with no glass on the north or west sides. For many months, all of the building's heat comes from this south facing glass. The store uses less energy than many smaller houses.
5] In July 2009, Gold Sound added additional roof insulation, plus a new reflective white roof, both installed by Western Roofing of Golden, Colorado. These steps further reduce the store's energy consumption.
