The word for world is forest, Ursula K. Le Guin. - Colonists from Earth take over a planet that the locals call Athshe, and follow the 19th century model of colonization, which involves cutting down trees, planting farms, building mines, and enslaving indigenous peoples. The Athsheans eventually retaliate against their captors, abandoning their rules against violence and endangering the very foundations of their society.

George saves the world by lunchtime, Jo Readman ; illustrated by Ley Honor Roberts. - George is determined to save the world by lunchtime. Grandpa suggests they start by recycling the yoghurt pot from his breakfast, putting his banana peel in the compost pile, and hanging the washing to dry in the sun. George gets to learn how recycling and re-using materials, and using less petrol can really help save the world.

Thank you for the opportunity:
Dark lord. 1. The teenage years, Jamie Thomson. - Thirteen-year-old schoolboy, Dirk Lloyd, has a dark secret - in fact he is a dark secret. Dirk - according to his own account - is the earthly incarnation of a Dark Lord, supreme ruler of the Darklands and leader of great armies of orcs and warriors, intent on destruction and bloody devastation.

jrw, at your brilliance in finding that excellent link between them, but I only thought of the prosaic explanation that they were both written by someone called Ursula
