Sure the plastics in the disposibles are *cheap*, monetarily, but it's a one-way cycle, whereas while the freshwater *costs* more moneywise, it's less of a one-way thing. However, the energy thing *is* a one-way and is also a use of non-renewable, on the most part, unless the diaper service is using wind or solar power, which is unlikely anywhere other than in Boulder... *laughter*
Still, yes, how it washes depends entirely on what one counts as "costs" and what one values more.
