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.

Other than be sure it is located in the box such that the end can't get
in contact w/ a hot terminal if there happens to be one in the
box...some recommend cutting it back but I wouldn't as there might be a
purpose for it some time in the future.
