MILFORD — Can a plastic bag get people used to the idea of using fewer plastic bags? Beginning next week, four supermarkets in Milford will be handing out multi-use plastic bags instead of the flimsy, single-use ones we’re all used to. “In Connecticut, people use a billion plastic shopping bags a year,” said Mayor Benjamin Blake. “A billion. And we’re trying to get people into the mind-set that it’s better for everyone to use re-usable bags when they go to the supermarket.” Four Milford supermarkets have signed on with the “Green Halloween” effort — the Adams IGA in the Woodmont enclave, the two Stop & Shop supermarkets and the recently opened Shop-Rite.
