Take a jungle down

Only problem with that is the dumb red power rubber trees that do not burn. I am building in a jungle as well and those trees are the bane of my existence as not even the axe of the stream works on them. Only way to take care of them is chopping them down block by block or using a turtle. In addition if you do not care about collecting the wood then a filler on clear would work wonders.
Edit - Just thought of something, you could use the wand of equal trade to turn the trees to sand or gravel and then recollect it with a shovel.
Axe of the Stream works wonders if you have the research done. Put repair on it and you are set.
The wood and leaves of the red power rubber trees cannot burn and the trees are very common in jungles. So you can burn down the rest of the jungle but will be left with these trees.
I cleared some jungle way back when I just played vanilla using flint and steel. I gave up after about 10 trees. You end up with bits of jungle wood in the air and suddenly the durability on flint and steel doesn't seem like a lot. In the end I installed a mod called timber (I think there is another similar one called treecapitator) which makes short work of a jungle. I set the command /gamerule doTileDrops false as well to stop tons of jungle wood falling and lagging up the place. I add mods to the game myself so I don't know if you get timber on any of the actual packs but I am pretty sure you can add mods to packs yourself can't you? If not, wrath igniter, filler or axe of the stream are all great suggestions made already. (I wish there was a config in redpower to turn off those rubber trees - that mod doesn't even use rubber!)
The latest version of MPS has that as a function. Another possible remedy is to use and MFR harvester. Without the upgrades that were added in more recent versions it would take a fair amount of moving around, but with that and a redstone energy cell you could take out the jungle a few trees at a time. It probably doesn't work with RP2 rubber trees though.
Of course as was mentioned before you can use a wrath igniter. It has a somewhat limited radius and can clear a large amount of land with a single click, but you could end up with a few floating blocks as well.

Guys, I can see a way to do what he wants (get greener grass), and that is a meadows biome! Far simpler guys!
Flint and steel and wrath igniters might not be a good idea. It'll take a long time.
In 1.4.7 they changed how fire works so it burns out really fast and it can't spread as much as it used to. Thus, it's only good for traps or decoration.
Wrath igniters will burn up quickly because it's one use per tree. Not that they're hard to make, but spending diamond blocks to burn down trees isn't too efficient.
Turtles are a good choice, and you can also use TNT to blow the trees up.
You can also get a high potency enchant on the wand of digging from TC3 and just destroy everything.
You can also have the wand of equal trade with a high potency enchant transmute logs and leaves into ferns or tall grass. The ferns/tall grass will be destroyed instantly, and your inventory will be filled to the brim with saplings and logs.

Set up a filler in the 'clear' mode, 64x64 box or as tall as needed to reach the top of the trees. Hook up a REC on max power output = job done in minutes.
Or find a meadows biome if you want a flat bright green area. You could also go to a rainforest with the redwood trees and clear some of those as that's the same bright green grass. The backdrop is nice there too, so long as your graphics card can handle all the leaves without spazzing out.

It does'nt destroy anything that's not burnable. And it'll only turn grass into dirt untill it can regrow.
It's my favorate way of clearing myself a spot in a jungle. Just make sure you click in a few different spots before running.
Oh, and the fire will stop at a certain point, it won't just burn and burn till nothing is left anywhere. Wrathfire will only burn outward from the spot you click a couple chunks then stop.
Or desertification, let it start the fires for you.
Look, some of us just want to watch the world burn.

Well, I took a bite out of all the bars on a kit-kat at once without breaking them apart, does that qualify similarly?
