Eco-advocate and sci-fi author Perry Williams autographs his book 'Pollen and the Ring of Harmony'  during the Senior & Family Intergenerational Arts Festival: Celebration of Life at the Santa Monica Senior Center on Sunday, October 5, 2008. Pollen is a visitor from the far reaches of space, and his mission is to save the Earth from human destruction with the power of his mysterious, living ring. Accompanied by a ragtag group of friends, he journeys across the United States to deliver a message to the president and the world. The Earth is about to be destroyed, and unless humans learn to live in harmony with nature, even the powerful ring won't be able to stop it. But as stories of the ring's amazing abilities spread, the ambitious vice president decides the ring belongs in his hands. And he'll stop at nothing to get it.
