That's a really thought-provoking point.
How about the second item, "consumers should ... use their money to benefit others rather than themselves" -- any ideas for a startup there?

So, a startup should be looking at positive externalities of its business.
KickStarter is making money, but it brings new products to life and enables funding models previously unachievable (e.g. a lot of Indie movies).
