Default Ground Wire in plastic box with plastic light fixture

I have a plastic box that attaches to a plastic light fixture. The
plastic light fixture does not have a ground wire. What do i do with
the bare copper ground wire from the NM 12-2 romex cable.
Do i need to attach a grounding screw to the plastic box and terminate
or the wire with a wing nut in the box?

Any light fixture I have used has had a ground wire. If yours doesn't, then
it doesn't really matter what you do with the ground wire.
