Preparing for a post-antibiotic era?

I was reading the "fears of post-antibiotic era" thread and there was a lot of interesting advice interspersed among the fearful posts. Talking about the scrupulous approach to hygiene and disease-prevention skills our ancestors and public health systems had had in the era before antibiotics (which have been available for less than 100 years and may realistically be in effective in the next couple of decades).

Is this something anyone is consciously preparing for- either through direct action by limiting use of antibiotics, eating only organic meat, lobbying for regulation or more on the preparation side of building up important skills that have collectively fallen out of use?

PS - but remind him to keep his response to words of two syllables? For my sake at least. Grin
