Okay, don't panic.... but you only have a very very small window to get this Green Tip done. Right now (well, in a minute after you read this) go to the store and get the following things:
Spray-on foam
Canned food
Plant lights
Flower pots
Soil
Seeds
Here's why you need all this stuff. There's a very good chance that there's no more warm days left this year. I can't speak for the rest of the country, but here in Toledo, it's been in the 50's and 60's, even getting as high as 67 on Saturday. That's unseasonably warm in an area where the first snowfall can come as early as October.
In the next few days, the weather will probably start getting much colder, so you need to act on this right now. First, open all the windows and bring in all that unseasonable weather. Then, completely seal up all of your windows, doors, and any other cracks with the spray on foam. This will create a nice tight lining on your home or apartment that will keep that warm air in. Yes, it's true, you won't be able to leave your apartment or house until probably April or May, but that's what the other things are for.
You're going to want to grow various things that you can eat, such as tomatoes, carrots, peas, hamburgers (if you find hamburger seeds, save some for me, I can't find them anywhere). You'll have to live off of canned food until the plants are ready, though, so I hope you like canned beets. It's a small price to pay for really low heating bills during the winter.
Added bonus: I like to throw in some added benefits of these Green Tips to make them even more enticing for you to put into practice in your life. The bonus to this one is that when the world ends on December 21, 2012, you'll have 3 years of bomb shelter making experience under your belt. You'll be way ahead of the game!
