>neither of the switches was grounded (green wire was loose). I'm guessing that it was because the box is plastic rather than metal.
When was your house built?
Older homes might not have ground wires run to the boxes which is how it would normally be grounded. Yes, sometimes metal boxes are grounded but this should be verified.
You mention the plastic box....does the wiring look old?
Anyway, all is fine. Standards change over the years.
