Skip Webster wrote this story where the family indulges in a very innocent protest, saving the local park.  It still gets Bobby and Cindy called radicals by a man (Jackie Coogan, in his first of two Brady cameos) whom Alice flirts with and tricks into signing the petition.  Two of the picket signs are '60sish, "Give trees a chance" and "Love is green."  Meanwhile, Mike's boss Mr. Phillips (Jack Collins again) assigns him to design the building going in the park's location, causing a conflict of interest, but Mike manages to keep his job and encourage the family to "do their own thing."  There of course have to be sexist remarks (by Mike and Mr. Phillips) about women spending money to undercut the messages about democracy.  I did like the montage of Mike designing plans; I wish there had been more of that in the series.
