It hasn’t taken Ian Thorpe long to find something to do with his spare time. Since hanging up his swim suit late last year, he has taken a keen interest in the environment. He is presenting a show on FoxTel that gives him a chance to question experts about environmental issues.
“I’ve always been passionate about the environment and how we treat it, how we can do better, and the more I read and talk to experts, the more I realise we can really make a difference,” Thorpe says, with clear excitement in his voice.
Thorpe has filmed more than 800 hours of footage for a one-off Foxtel special called Fish Out of Water, in which viewers will share his journey of discovery about the Australian environment.
