Save today, save tomorrow
Hi,
In the context below,
If you consume less fish, birds, and animals, someday you may save the life of others, of your friends, families, siblings, and even of yourselves. Save today, save tomorrow.
1.
Should I repeat saying 'of your...' like this?
of your friends, of your families, of your siblings
2.
families or family?
3.
even of yours or even of yourselves?
Thanks.

For effect, yes, add the word "your" in front of the list.
This would be more effective in a speech or spoken advertising.
Or, omit all the "yours" if used in written advertising.

Thank you so much for correcting it.
